At present I just got STEPcode compiled and trying to understand how STEPcode works but unable to get it. I went through many links STEP, IfcOpenShell, STEPcode wiki then I was able to understand that you might be conveying that we could make STEPcode read IFC file and extract its geometry which can be displayed in BRL-CAD. Please, correct me if I am going wrong. Plus their is question i.e. If IFC being based on STEP standard ( that I came to know from your wiki page) the what was the need of one more separate with just one little change. Should I continue discussion related to this on this thread or create new thread in STEPcode mailing list and continue discussion their ? > FreeCAD uses IfcOpenShell since it is also based on OpenCasCade.
