Export to STEP?

Is there any way to export generated models as STEP files? I'd love to be able to do so and import them into solidworks etc. |

No, STEP is, essentially, an encoded CAD process — PicoGK isn't CAD, so it's impossible to generate a STEP file. While there are complex ways to derive a STEP file from a mesh, it's messy. In short, PicoGK is not CAD, and STEP is a CAD format. Lin |
