Hello All,

How to get units for mass and length while importing STEP file? I am using STEPCAFControl_Reader class.

Thanks & Regards,
Prajwal

You have no acess to flle length unit. But model's lenght unit convert into system. And you will have system length unit for each nodes. The same process with mass and density.

But probably there can be some bugs.

You can take a look into STEPCAFControl_Reader::ReadMaterials for more details.

Best regards, Dmitrii.
