Hi, I've created tree viewer for step file. Please try it. you  can see IFC2x3, IFC4, AP210 files in tree view.

download linke is bellow.

I'm also creating  OpenGL viewer for step file. I already succeded  to display dice and cone of BREP data to 3D view by  using STEPCode dlls and OpenGL. I'll submit it via the internet recently.

Thanks,

It doesn’t look like you’ve licensed your work under an open source license.  Your accomplishment leverages open source but does not contribute back to that same community in kind.  Your work would be considerably more interesting if you were to license it under a standard open source license [1].  Congratulations on your progress regardless.

Cheers!
Sean

StepExplore would not start because glew32.dll was not found.   A tree view of the contents of a part21 file is outside the scope of your GSoC project, though it could be useful.   I look forward to reviewing your progress with BREP in 3D view.

Also missing mfc100u.dll according to Wine. (attempting to run this under Linux).

Thank you your replay. I added some dlls(mfc100u.dll glew32.dll  OpenGL32.dll and so on.) regarding to StepExplore.exe. Please downded it and try it if you can.

Thank you for your reply. I think my source code doesn't worth to expose. because the code  is just  wrapping step library and display it  in tree view. If you use it and It helps you, I'll be happy. :)

Sorry I confused you earlier with a GSoC student since they are working on 3D viewing with stepcode and BRL-CAD.   I downloaded and ran StepExplore and it worked on an AP214ed3 file from the cax-if.   I think StepExplore would be good to release as open source as portions of it could be used by other applications, such as the NIST STEP File Analyzer.  Also, like BRL-CAD, OpenVSP, and SCView, it provides an example of how to use stepcode in an application.

I'm not GSoC student.  I will consider to expose my part of sorce coode for example of  how to use stepcode in an application.
but I have to undarstand more about Stepcoe library now.

Hello!,

I developed new software which name is ' BIM BEAVER' powered by STEPCode library. 
This software can open IFC file and display it as 3D model in the viewer, and also inspect properties in the file.
The software focused to deal with IFC file because I'm familiar with them rather  than step files.
The software use STEPcode library, OpenCASSCADE, OpenGL, and MFC inside.

Please visit my web site. and download and try it.

Regards,
wwjdw175

Hi, I just want to say that this is very cool to see and impressive work. Thank you for sharing! What were your challenges with stepcode, what worked well, what didn’t work well, what would you change?  What are your plans in the future with this tool?  

Also, would you mind if we link to your application and use your image on our website?  Thanks again for sharing it. It’s an excellent showcase example.

Cheers!
Sean

Hi!,
Thank you for the reply.

I found that stepcode is very fast and robust. I firstly wrote program to read and write step file but gave up because
step file format is very difficult and there are many tricky function like SELECT type.

I found that stepcode can not encode or decode string such like  '\X2\30D730ED30B830A730AF30C8756A53F7\X0\'.
Revit read and write these encoding string.(Revit is AutoDesk's BIM software.)

I'm planning to add section plane,collision detection, quantity take off  and save IFC file now. In the future I want user can create columns, beams, slabs and roofs in my software.

Regards,
wwjdw175
