Hello Gabriella! What a fantastic combination of majors… I’m a little surprised you’d pick a data processing topic with that background, though — what drew you to that topic vs others? Any others also of interest? FYI, anyone who is serious about working with BRL-CAD is welcome to submit two proposals if there is more than one area that interests you greatly. I wouldnt recommend working on a second before working on a patch, but two does help demonstrate the intensity of your interest and lets us evolve the project most mutually interesting. > I realize that for the program we are supposed to expand on the project > ideas, but in this case the only way I could see expanding it would be to > include more formats onto of the already implemented AP203 and the suggested > additions AP203e2, AP214, AP242. Not at all. STEP import is quite complicated. We have an importer, but only for some of the hundreds of possible entities one might encounter — so you could expand support for more entities. Also, our support is not robust (just try converting some .step files) — so you could work on improving robustness, fixing bugs. Also, it’s not as modular as we’d like it to be — so you could work on moving the code into a library and calling it more cleanly, restructuring and code cleanup. Performance could be better. We don’t import yet import mesh geometry. Or some assembly/hierarchy/attribute information. And so much more… pick your poison. :) Cheers!
