::o-alert{:dismissible=false variant=info} ::block{class='m-2'} **3D API Private Preview** The 3D API is available on a Private Preview basis to existing customers who want to road test the API whilst we continue to work on API management and scalability. Whilst in Private Preview, the 3D API is available at no additional charge, although we are currently limiting maximum project size to 125MW AC and we are running on a relatively small cloud cluster – which means that you may experience resource contention at busy times.
