Hi Mario, Yes, I meant you. > I am following this discussion but I am having difficult to understand some > parts here and the relation with 3d-viewer. Basically, we need (just a brain dump below): - a cleanup of the 3D model loading/storage code: a clean mesh class (holding the geometry/assembly info) and refactoring of the 3d-viewer (and further on, exporter code) to use it. I see you made the S3D_MESH class, which is already quite clean and could be easily integrated with the STEP mesher. One thing that might be needed is storing same sub-meshes with different transforms (imagine a BGA footprint with 1000 identical balls - the current design of the class requires copying the mesh data 1000 times, correct me if I'm wrong please). - improved way to associate a STEP/IGES/VRML/whatever with the PCB footprints. - @Wayne - anything else?
