ACIS 3D Geometric Modeler (ACIS) is an object-oriented three-dimensional (3D) geometric modeling engine from Spatial Corp. It is designed for use as the geometry foundation within virtually any end-user 3D modeling application. Written in C++, ACIS provides an open architecture framework for wireframe, surface, and solid modeling from a common, unified data structure.

This section introduces ACIS and the documentation set. It tells you how to use online help and find information, describes the ACIS architecture and product line, introduces the demonstration applications, and introduces the geometric modeling concepts of ACIS. It also contains examples to help you get started creating models in either Scheme or C++. Finally, the section also provides a glossary of ACIS and geometric modeling terms.
