No problem, will do that when I've finished looking through the existing code and have a good idea of how to structure things. - Cirilo On Thu, Feb 19, 2015 at 2:00 AM, Wayne Stambaugh stambau...@gmail.com wrote: Before you start coding the 3D model plugin, please submit a design document so

Before you start coding the 3D model plugin, please submit a design document so it can be reviewed by other developers. It doesn't have to be formal. A brief email with overview of the design will do. On 2/17/2015 10:12 PM, Cirilo Bernardo wrote: Just an update to my previous message - I will

Hi Tom, As I explained in the past, STEP models generated by OpenCascade are unusable to MCAD users. I'll look at the IGES support in OpenCascade; I didn't even think of this since the STEP support left me with such a bad impression. - Cirilo On Wed, Feb 18, 2015 at 10:03 AM, Tomasz Wlostowski

The plugin will definitely happen before any integration; I'm also unwilling to add anymore mess to the existing code and if the change isn't made now then it will become unmanageable. - Cirilo On Wed, Feb 18, 2015 at 11:07 AM, Wayne Stambaugh stambau...@gmail.com wrote: On 2/17/2015 6:03 PM,

Hi folks, I'm just letting everyone know that I've started development on a framework for the IGES model specification (and I've also purchased a copy of the STEP Model and Resources Library). Although we ultimately want to use STEP since this can eventually tie in to PSI-5, I believe IGES will
