X3D export/conversion

[zoidberg]

Hello,

there is vrml export for FreeCAD. Shouldn't it be easy to also writing an x3d exporter?

In my opinion the webgl support would be easier with it by using x3dom instead of three.js?

PythonOCC can export x3d. Why isn't it possible with FreeCAD which is also based on OCE?

Is it possible to do it via the python api?

Its a feature of pythonOCC and not of OCE

x3d is an add-on of pythonOCC: https://github.com/tpaviot/pythonocc-co ... elator.cpp

But nevertheless, you can also write to an x3d with FreeCAD. Simply create a mesh from a shape and use the extended mesh export function of the Mesh workbench. There you can select x3d as output format.

yes the mesh generator will help me. I'll write my own exporter with it. Thanks! FreeCAD is awesome.

color information is lost when using the mesh generator? Is there a way to get the color information? The model is only one part imported from step but with different colors.

Yes, but to judge by the code this also happens with pythonOCC.
