Sorry, but this is outside of my scope of interesst. Due to unfamiliarity with the topic I cannot and actually also do not want to mentor this. If eomeone else likes to mentor this he is of course very welcome to add it to the project ideas page, more mentors are always very helpful!it would be nice to consider also this feature for GSOC:
- import/export STEP file using STEPCODE http://stepcode.org/
I just say it would be nice to add this topic on GSOC ... not mentioning who could be the mentorickby wrote: Sorry, but this is outside of my scope of interesst.
It is not that easy. for one a rather detailed description is needed, so someone needs to have some serious thoughts about it. And then there needs to be a contact person for this. If we add it as project idea we can receive proposals from students, hence we need to be prepared for evaluating and mentoring it. This is not possible if no one takes the responsibility.I just say it would be nice to add this topic on GSOC ... not mentioning who could be the mentor

that is of course ok and a good idea. If someone volunteers to support this idea and takes the responsibility we can of course add it to the project idea list, more ideas is always better! But someone needs to make the commitment involved with GSoC. If you want to do this you are very welcome to add it to the list. But make sure to read http://en.flossmanuals.net/GSoCMentorin ... od-mentor/ before commiting (the whole book is recommended)that's why I posted here my query...
to see if someone may be interested in that subject
I found that exporting from a commercial sw a STEP model coming from FreeCAD, the sw will reduce a lot STEP size in terms of bytes...cwstirk wrote:Re: STEP translation
but would need help from a mentor with FreeCAD and OpenCasCade experience.
