I remember your earlier work with importing STEP model data for the VRML

a separate tool for that job. This avoids adding yet another monstrous

convert the model on-the-fly.

Hi Cirilo,

I can't agree here. One of the main reasons why we did the P&S router was lack of quality interactive router *integrated* in Kicad. We'd like to achieve the same with STEP support.

Including OCC as a dependency won't be a problem anymore once we have DLL/DSO plugins.

Tom
