Hello Cirilo, Lorenzo, Jean-Pierre, I was trying to understand a bit more how the pcbboard is converted into polygons. I found that vrml_exporter is doing it in a very different (but similar!) way as 3d-viewer (boost based implementation).
The vrml_exporter based is implementation on gluTess while the 3d-viewer is using the boost based implementation and looks that it reuses / follow the implementation used in other kicad parts, as pcbnew. Could you elaborate a bit more about this differences? Why vrml_exporter is using a different approach ? I believe it should get the same results in the end? Any story behind that? Another general question: What are the other renderings (Default/ OpenGL/ Cairo.. etc) and exporters (GERBERS, Print, SVG, ... etc) are using? Lets say that I will implement a new rendering / exporter for whatever, what approach should I follow? I mean, what are the blocks (code) that I can reuse and rely on? (same boost pcbnew based?) Thank you for your clarifications!
