Hi Cirilo,
What software did you use for the translation?
I used my good friend FreeCAD, then I translate the object to VRML using the FC APIs (something very missing in kicad pcbnew)...
I moved all my script to FC, which is much more powerful then kicad pcbnew script interface...

Hi Maurice, What software did you use for the translation? Was that direct from STEP/IGES to VRML or was that the post-processing of an OCE VRML file? - Cirilo On Thu, Feb 18, 2016 at 7:43 PM, easyw <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi Cirilo, I had to translate all the objects by an external VRML parser/builder. I didn't used OCE at all. Everything internal would have been quite big/messy and without control.

I'm thinking of implementing a 3D Plugin for STEP/IGES using OCE and I want to look at the possibilities for creating the kicad internal 3D representation (SG* classes in the new 3D branches). Unfortunately OCE doesn't seem to have any very convenient mechanisms for this; at the moment I'm thinking the simplest is to ask OCE to create a VRML structure in memory and to use the VRML parser to read this. The better alternative (which requires more programming of course) is to implement a translator similar to OCE's VRML translator which will translate directly to kicad's SG* classes. - Cirilo
