Nowadays there are many CAD format files, each one is more appropriate to a different application field. Consequently it is necessary to CAD softwares to support as many file formats as possible, aiming to reduce users' efforts. Currently BRL-CAD is not totally compatible with some of most popular CAD file formats, such as VRML, X3D and OBJ. Actually according to table 1 BRL-CAD can only export to previously cited formats. To BRL-CAD would be very interesting if models could be imported from these formats. | Nowadays there are many CAD format files, each one is more appropriate to a different application field.

| − | + | I intend to develop CAD importers to BRL-CAD. The project's main idea is to write model importers - OBJ, VRML and X3D formats - to BRL-CAD, which would be respectively called obj-g, vrml-g and x3d-g. | |
| − | + | Benefits to BRL-CAD | |
Add importers would increase BRL-CAD level compatibility with CAD file formats. Users will have a direct way to import their models to BRL-CAD, in other words they should avoid taking alternatives ways that can increase errors. As example of compatibility same of popular 3D graphics application like Blender can export to OBJ, VRML and X3D. | Add importers would increase BRL-CAD level compatibility with CAD file formats.

The work can begin immediately. Currently, I’m in between university terms, so currently I’m not attending any classes. Classes will begin near mid April, and if time becomes a problem, one or two disciplines may be dismissed and done later. I also work at the university; I am a trainee in a computer graphics and virtual reality laboratory which demands ~20 weekly hours. But I do intend focusing on GSoC, and will do my best to give BRL-CAD 30+ weekly hours. That being said, the summer plans are detailed below: | The work can begin immediately.
