Glossary
Adapter
Section titled “Adapter”A module that imports from or exports to an external format or tool, such as GeoJSON, IFC, Blender, Archicad, or Revit.
Buildable Envelope
Section titled “Buildable Envelope”A derived region or volume describing where a building may be placed after applying parcel geometry and planning constraints.
Canonical Path
Section titled “Canonical Path”A stable semantic address used in source, docs, eval findings, and patches. Example: site.main.parcels.pcl_001.constraints.setbacks.front.
Coordinate Space
Section titled “Coordinate Space”A named frame that gives coordinates their meaning, units, CRS, parent frame, and transform behavior.
A local coordinate system, usually attached to a site, building, level, element, or backend.
Parcel
Section titled “Parcel”A land plot with a boundary, topology, legal/source metadata, access, easements, and planning constraints.
Preview Geometry
Section titled “Preview Geometry”Fast visual geometry used for UI, glTF, USD, or Blender previews. It is derived, not authoritative.
Realization Geometry
Section titled “Realization Geometry”Higher-fidelity derived geometry such as solids, profiles, booleans, and openings used for export and detailed validation.
Semantic Geometry
Section titled “Semantic Geometry”Agent-editable intent geometry such as parcel edges, wall baselines, floorplate boundaries, and envelope regions.
Target Path
Section titled “Target Path”The canonical path an operation modifies.
A deterministic eval that produces findings, metrics, and repair hints.
