Hello,

I would appreciate some help with the usage of g-stl. I have posted
my problem on the Discussion / Help forum, and it can be found here:

Below is the content of my question:

Hey,
I'm trying to convert a STEP file into an STL triangle mesh, and BRL-CAD
seems to be the perfect match for this task. I am having trouble achieving
it, however. Here's what I do

I take any model, let's say this one:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/floatingpointstack/aoc-xchange/master/examples/models_in/step/aube_pleine.stp

I transform it to .g, like this:

$ ./BRL-CAD_7.26.0_Linux_x86_64/bin/step-g -o aube_pleine.g aube_pleine.stp

This works fine. Now, I find the name of the part I want to export:

$ ./BRL-CAD_7.26.0_Linux_x86_64/bin/mged aube_pleine.g tops
Assembly1/

Now, when I try to produce an STL file, I get an error:

$ ./BRL-CAD_7.26.0_Linux_x86_64/bin/g-stl -o aube_pleine.stl aube_pleine.g
Assembly1
ERROR(Brep_2.s): tessellation failure
0 triangles written

I don't know how to handle this, as I am quite new to BRL-CAD - I would
appreciate some insight

Sincerely,

Filip Binkiewicz
