STEP Viewer Project Development Log
Week 01/05/2015 to 08/05/2015
- I am getting familiar with the source code of libdm and librt.
- Design and Developing Qt GUI for STEP Viewer program
Week 09/05/2015 to 16/05/2015
As Sean mentioned in brlcad-devel Digest, Vol 607, Issue 1
- Look in to myriad of examples in the src/util directory
- Started a sample project which is capable of generating libdm window.
Week 16/05/2015 to 23/05/2015
- Worked on STEP Viewer functionality
- Downloaded the current version of the BRL-CAD code and build it
- Studied the libdm library
Week 23/05/2015 to 30/05/2015
- Start coding StepViewer
- First task (as Sean has mentioned) Try to create a libdm window
- Creation of the libdm window of type X and OGL failed.
- Creation of the libdm window type of null and text succeeded.
- Found that libdm is hard to work with
- No Proper Documentation for the libdm library
Week 30/05/2015 to 7/06/2015
- Refereed on OpenGL
- Created a separate OpenGL Window
- Trying to embed OGL view to a existing Qt window.
- Success fully embedded the OGL view in the main window.
Week 7/06/2015 to Week 14/06/2015
- Development of STEPViewer GUI.
- OpenGL view zoom in/out functionality added
- OpenGL view rotation according to mouse movement functionality added
- Displaying the 3D axis system in OpenGL view.
- Current Code can be found at https://bitbucket.org/milindasf/stepviewer/src
- Referring on how to use BRLCAD functionality to browse the triangles in a STEP file and visualize them in the OGL viewer.
Week 14/06/2015 to 22/06/2015
- Used step2g converter to convert .step file .g file.
- Read the .g file to STEPViewer program
- Conversion from db_i* to rt_brep_internal*
- Iterated brep for edges and visualized those edges in OpenGL view.
