A WFT file just means the file ends with `.wft`, but because `.wft` is not standardized, its purpose changes based on context, commonly appearing as a GTA IV model file found with a `.wtd` texture, an Oracle Workflow Builder data/definition file, or an interferometry wavefront dataset for mirror or optical analysis.

The quickest way to figure out which type of WFT file you have is to check where it came from and what files sit next to it, since a GTA mod or game folder points to the GTA version, Oracle/EBS export folders point to the Oracle workflow type, and optics/testing directories point to wavefront data, after which you can do a simple text-versus-binary check by opening a copy in Notepad to see whether it shows readable text or mostly unreadable symbols, and if you need stronger confirmation you can inspect the first bytes or run PowerShell commands like `Format-Hex` or a strings-style scan to look for clues such as vehicle names, Oracle workflow terms, or optics keywords, then load the file with the right toolchain—GTA mod tools, Oracle Workflow Builder, or optics software.

When I ask about the project or app behind your WFT file, it’s because `.wft` isn’t a reliable indicator on its own, so the source is what truly identifies it: GTA mod directories nearly always mean a GTA vehicle model file, Oracle workflow environments mean an Oracle Workflow definition, and optics/metrology folders mean wavefront data, which is why the folder, download context, and neighboring files provide the strongest hint about the correct opener or converter.

In practice, when someone mentions a ".wft" file, they’re usually talking about one of a few common uses of that extension, and the correct meaning depends entirely on the environment it came from: in the GTA IV modding world it’s the well-known vehicle model format paired with a same-name `.wtd` texture and handled in tools like OpenIV, in enterprise systems it’s an Oracle Workflow Builder data file containing workflow definitions for import or loading, and in optics or interferometry setups it’s a DFTFringe-style wavefront file used for measurement and correction rather than game models or business processes.

Identifying the correct `.wft` meaning involves checking the environment that produced it, examining neighboring files, and giving it a small peek inside, since the extension isn’t unique; a WFT found in GTA IV modding environments—especially next to a same-name `.wtd` texture or vehicle-mod indicators—points to the GTA vehicle-model format read in OpenIV, whereas one emerging from Oracle workflow ecosystems is usually an Oracle Workflow Builder workflow definition or data file.

If the file shows up in optics or interferometry contexts—mirror-testing workflows, wavefront correction tasks, or DFTFringe operations—it might be a wavefront data file, and aside from contextual clues you can inspect a copy in Notepad to judge whether it reads like text or resembles binary gibberish, and for a decisive identification you can view its header bytes with PowerShell’s `Format-Hex` or gather readable strings to spot telltale patterns such as GTA asset terms, Oracle workflow vocabulary, or optics/wavefront keywords that quickly clarify which type of `.wft` it is.
