Hello Forum,

Let's say I have a STEP file containing B-Spline BREP definitions of several solid objects. Which output file formats should I choose to get:
(1) Each face of each solid written out separately as a mesh of connected triangles
(2) The entire solid written out as one closed, water-tight mesh of connected triangles

Thanks much

OLDMAN

For 2 you can use STL format, for 1 you probably need to pre-pare modele before exporting. But looks like obj will help you with that. You can use GLTF for both scenarios but in this case you need to prepare data.

Best regards, Dmitrii.
