Re: Plugin plans (post-stable release)

 

Hi Cirilo and Tom,

I tried OCC to import a stl shape (to263 from kicad lib generated from wings3d) and generate step and iges models and render it in wxpython...

please find attached the py code used for conversion and IGES and STEP generated

Hi Maurice,

It looks like just a hack to me (just the board shape). Adding
components will be IMHO more complex... Besides Peter's approach does
not solve the problem of meshing/visualization of STEP component models
(see [1] for an example - this is all STEP).

Regards,
Tom
