Excellent progress! I believe it will need some discussion on how to integrate the dependency on OCE but hope a good compromise could be found. It is good however that we got something to discuss.
What options does OCE offer you when convert the STEP to triangles? (i.e: on relation to quality/ detail of tesselation, materials, etc ?)

If people would like this plugin to be pushed into 3d_initial_merge then let me know; I would need to add a CMake option to build it since it depends on OCE and should not be built by default. Just remember that these models will not be visible in 3DViewer until the current 3DViewer has been replaced by one which uses the scenegraph objects from 3d_initial_merge. Mario is making a lot of progress with his 3DViewer branch, so hopefully it won't be too long before we have all the latest 3D visualization codes. :) One note: although the new 3D viewer will be able to directly use the STEP/IGES models (no need to convert to VRML), actual MCAD exports is still a long way away since it depends on the implementation of a plugin system for reading and manipulating the PCB data itself. Thanks to Tom Wlostowski for the initial OCE investigations and his sample c++ code for converting STEP to VRML. - Cirilo _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
