I know that I would definitely find this useful. I'm not sure whether this is not part of STEP or a limitation of the software that I'm using to convert from, but sometimes a customer will send a model where it's not completely clear what a feature is supposed to be exactly - for instance a reamed hole vs. a drilled hole. So, tolerances attached to the model would be handy. > And please keep the pointers on working on an open source project > coming. As a novice I appreciate all of them.
