12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SCHEME O HOLDINGS, LLC AND ITS MEMBERS, OFFICERS, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Scheme O Holdings, LLC and its members, officers, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Service, your User Content, or your violation of these Terms or any law.

17. Dispute Resolution & Class Action Waiver

To the extent permitted by law, any dispute arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered under the rules of a recognized arbitration provider, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court or seek injunctive relief to protect intellectual property. You and Scheme O waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class, collective, or representative action. If this waiver is found unenforceable, the dispute shall proceed in the courts identified in Section 16.

18. General

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a business transfer.

GRG Workflow: Create a quick reference urban map by entering a Series (e.g. A), click to drop points (A1, A2...). ESC finishes placement.

✈ CAS & FINAL ATTACK HEADINGS

Build a Final Attack Heading (FAH) for an enemy target — outputs inbound, reciprocal, and maneuver-offset corridors with bearings ready for a CAS 9-Line.

Build a FAH: Place an enemy unit, click CAS in the toolkit, then click the enemy to assign it as the target.
Configure: The CAS sidebar exposes FAH (°), Reciprocal Offset (°), Maneuver Offset (°), Length (m), line boldness, and per-line color pickers.
Hide maneuver lines: Toggle SHOW MANEUVER OFFSETS off in the CAS config to declutter the map without losing the values (the matrix still shows them).
Outputs: Inbound corridor (FAH), Reciprocal corridor (FAH + 180°), Maneuver-offset lines (MO IN L/R, MO OUT L/R) — all labeled with grid azimuths on the map.
FAH Tab: Open the Data Matrix → FAH tab for a CAS-9-Line-ready table with grid and magnetic headings.

Magnetic headings are auto-computed from declination at the target location.

👁 VIEWSHED ANALYSIS

Run a true cell-based line-of-sight analysis from an observer. Each grid cell within range is independently tested by tracing a sightline against the terrain to mark it visible or hidden — no smoothing, no radial polygon.

Run a viewshed: Click the Viewshed tool, click the map to drop an observer, then set observer height (default 5.5 ft, switchable to meters) and range (default 2500 m). Targets are sampled at ground level on a 25 m grid.
Output: Each cell renders as a semi-transparent green square if visible. Toggle Render hidden cells to also show red squares for blocked cells; otherwise hidden cells are left transparent.
Manage multiple: Open the Data Matrix → Viewsheds tab to list, rename, hide, or delete saved analyses, and to inspect the parameters used.
Toggle visibility: Use the Layers panel to show/hide all viewsheds at once.

⚠ Bare-earth limitation: Analysis runs against terrain elevation only (Mapbox Terrain-RGB). It does not account for buildings, vegetation, walls, or other above-ground structures. A DSM or building layer is required to model those.

A Mapbox token is required (configured by your admin).

📊 DATA MATRIX & EXPORTS

Open: Click OPEN/CLOSE DATA MATRIX in the sidebar to toggle the matrix panel.

Tabs: Switch between POINTS & GRIDS, GTL, ROUTES, SHAPES, VIEWSHEDS, and FAH (CAS Final Attack Headings).

Filters: Use the "ALL" dropdowns in headers to isolate specific units or weapon systems.
Bulk Action: Use Show All / Hide All in the GTL tab to declutter your map.
Expanded Data: Click ▼ on GFX/Routes to see every vertex grid and leg distance.
FAH tab: Lists every Final Attack Heading you've built — formatted for direct paste into a CAS 9-Line.
Viewsheds tab: Manage all saved viewshed analyses; toggle visibility, rename, or delete.

Copy Button: Click COPY in any tab to grab a Word-ready table with proper borders and spacing — paste directly into an OPORD without reformatting.

🗺️ LAYERS & OUTPUT

Basemaps: Switch between Satellite (Imagery), Topo (Elevation), and Roads (Navigation).

Label Density: Select Smart (No Overlap) to automatically hide crowded unit labels while maintaining map clarity.

Export Snapshot: Generates a printable PDF (Landscape) with scale bar, North arrow, and MGRS zone data, or a high-res PNG.

💾 SCENARIOS, FILE EXPLORER & BACKUPS

Save: Type a name in the Save field in the sidebar and click SAVE AS NEW — the scenario is stored in your cloud account immediately.

File Explorer: Click OPEN EXPLORER in the sidebar to launch a Windows-style scenario file manager. Inside the explorer:

Folders: Right-click empty space and choose New folder to organize saves. Drag scenarios into folders, or use Move to… from the right-click menu.
Copy / Cut / Paste: Right-click a scenario or folder for Copy, Cut, and Paste options. Keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+C (copy), Ctrl+X (cut), Ctrl+V (paste). Copy duplicates the scenario; cut moves it.
Multi-select: Click checkboxes (or Ctrl+A) to select multiple items for bulk move or delete.
Search: Use the search box at the top of the explorer to filter saves and folders by name.
List vs Grid: Toggle the view with the icons in the toolbar.
Window controls: The explorer is a draggable, resizable window — minimize, maximize, or close from the top-right buttons. Folder structure persists per-user across sessions.

Autosave: Local crash-recovery snapshots are kept in your browser automatically every few seconds while you edit, so you won't lose work if a tab crashes.

Upload/Download: Use DOWNLOAD DATA to export the current scenario as a local .json backup. Use UPLOAD DATA to restore a scenario from a file or share with a teammate.
