I am not sure that step triangles are a benefit over stl/3mf export - but importing an step would be more like open and convert instead of import()
<J24k19>
but i assume this is not possible due to the different nature of openSCAD
<J24k19>
step seems to be a terrible format .. it is just widely used in CAD

I thought step is more about preserving those BREP information?
<J24k19>
yes and that is where you can use it to modify - but it also can hold just triangles which is bit useless as there are better formats for this
<J24k19>
but as prusa (slicer) has a step support i see models with only a step uploaded - might be nice to import these as kind of "convert to triangles"
<J24k19>
but for export it wouldn't add anything (afaik)
<J24k19>
if the CSG-tree could be converted into step this would be great for data exchange from openSCAD into other CAD

I think CSG-tree can be exported as STEP, but iirc BREP does not have good CSG capability, not sure about that
<pca006132>
and you don't have relation data, so probably not very useful for other CAD
<pca006132>
reading step sounds good though

Happy Christ Nativity!

J24k19: Just be mindful of total sizing being repository appropriate.
<InPhase>
Looks like our largest model directory was 30MB.
<InPhase>
Although I think we can get away with a bit bigger than that.

t4nk_fn: whats a torussi ?
<teepee>
license wise it's obviously fine to just include, but I think it would still be a good idea to get in touch with people as we did for some of the designs in the past
<t4nk_fn>
buZz, I guess it's just one of those things you need to get the first time around ;)
<buZz>
i know a torus, its a donut
<t4nk_fn>
(it was plural too, btw)
<buZz>
in what language?
<InPhase>
Fake latin?
<t4nk_fn>
thnx, InPhase.
<buZz>
so you have a latinamerican 3dpen?
<buZz>
nice
<InPhase>
Latin American ironically means something completely unrelated to Latin.
<buZz>
;)
<buZz>
you'd think, yeah ;)
<buZz>
but weirdly it doesnt, its 'latin american' because they're spanish/italian, the birth place of latin
<t4nk_fn>
its? of what?
<buZz>
of what, indeed
<buZz>
t4nk_fn: so, you ment the hobbed gears?
<t4nk_fn>
they weren't broken, so they didn't need mending
<InPhase>
Ironically the Italian connection got largely lost, which is the problem. Words get confused over time. :)
<buZz>
InPhase: the opposite would be 'anglo american' , meaning a immigrant from anglo-language native nations
<buZz>
InPhase: columbus was italian for instance
<buZz>
wasnt amerigo too?
<buZz>
yep, so US = italy
<InPhase>
I guess there aren't a lot of Columbi around anymore.
<buZz>
the anglos just had more weapons easily available
