01What's inside
The specifics, with numbers.
The things a general-purpose tool does not do.
01
Nine formats, one viewer
.nwd and .nwc natively; STEP, IGES, BREP, STL, OBJ, glTF and VRML alongside them, all opened from disk.
02
No account, no upload
Models are opened locally. Nothing is sampled, converted or sent anywhere — the viewer has no server to send it to.
03
The review set, not just orbit
Selection tree, element properties, hide/isolate, section planes, measurement, saved viewpoints and selection sets.
04
Walk the model
Walkthrough navigation for plant-scale models. The macOS build is 18 MB and opens local files directly.
05
Four platforms
macOS and Windows desktop builds, plus iOS (Cadmira 1.0.0, CAD-only) and Android.
06
Files stay as they were
The original model is never modified. Review is a read-only activity, and the app is built that way.
02Gallery
A closer look.
Real screenshots where they exist. Where a capture is missing, the frame says so.
Screenshot withheld
Client plant data in the existing captures.
The build is real; the picture will follow.

Nothing here is a stand-in screenshot.
