Hello,

I think it is not possible to store visualisation attributes or a name attribute in the brep format.

You have to use an ocaf document to store some attributes linked to a shape.

regards,

Denis

hello Denis ,
it is strange that a brep file can't store some attributes ,I open my brep file into CADExchanger .

Can you tell me what it is a file ocaf ? and do you know a software reads a brep file associated to a ocaf file .

thanks .
laurent

PS: I start on opencascade but I suppose that a lot of compagny save there data on the disk with brep schema file and also store attributes .
