Evidence & model coverage

39,897 web triangles; 1 supplied geometry groups before runtime flattening. Generic mesh chunks are not physical components. Thirty-nine oversized source closing/filler faces removed. Open edges, capture artifacts and incomplete surfaces remain; this is not a complete measured building. Source carries a NoAI platform tag; retained in provenance. No generative model creation or training was used in this adaptation. Independent creator: John Toeppen; the item links National Park Service historical context.

Changes: Texture cap 512px (JPEG 85 for opaque images, PNG for transparency); duplicate/unused data removed; welded vertices; Draco encoding; supplied mesh-bearing nodes retained. Removed 39 oversized closing/filler faces (edge >20% of source extent and area >0.25% of extent squared) to expose the recorded scan surface; not a reconstruction of missing architecture.
