Perfectly relevant experience, thanks for sharing. BRL-CAD does not yet have GD&T capabilities (or at least, they are very primitive and often manual steps). This is a high-demand feature, for obvious reasons. > Following my intern at GE, which involved Computer Graphics, I took up a > project in my fourth year, Autumn 2016.

Our main code primarily uses Subversion instead of Git, though some devs do maintain their own local checkout in a git repo so they can commit offline. > I would love to spend my summer working with you and explore the prospects of > becoming a long-term contributor to BRL-CAD Looking on our project ideas page, which seem most interesting to you? As noted on our Facebook page, this year’s priorities are performance (OpenCL), Geometry Conversion, GUI (Qt), and annotations. Given your GD&T and GUI background, two of those are particularly relevant. Cheers!
