Hello Sean Morrison, As you had encouraged me for geometry conversion, since yesterday, I read the pdf containing tutorial IV on Converting Geometry. Through that, I have got a very brief idea about wide range of convertors available for geometry conversions between BRLCAD geometry file formats and other formats of different CAD systems and standarized CAD formats like STEP and IGES to forcefully convert incompatible formats. Still am trying to dig deeper and deeper. I went through the project ideas again, the three projects which I find interesting and would like to work on are- 1. General Tree Walker - making a new common interface for different functions currently used to recursively walk through CSG tree. 2. STEP Libraries- cleaning up and performance enhancement, improving library performance and code maintainabilty and better documenting it. 3. Improving STEP Importer- extending the convertor to support non-solid NURBS geometry, polygonal geometry, unorganized triangle mesh geometry and implicit CSG geometry. The third one, particularly is a new concept for me but I find it interesting and am willing to learn new things through it. According to you, in which direction should I go ahead? -- Kesha Shah. |

Note that there are four more new STEP conversion project ideas worth considering posted to the ideas page. You may want to check them out before deciding.

How about then STEP AP242 Parser or Multi-Protocol Parsing to make one importer support multiple APs ? Which one is the best having huge impact and a greater priority for BRL-CAD? There is hardly a day remaining for the deadline submission. Things need to be done faster. I am online on IRC channel also. Actually, waiting for you to come online :) -Kesha Shah On Thu, May 2, 2013 at 2:41 PM, kEsHa sHaH <kes...@gm...> wrote: > Hello Sean Morrison, > > As you had encouraged me for geometry conversion, since yesterday, I read > the pdf containing tutorial IV on Converting Geometry.

Have you read the introductory materials that tell you what STEP is and why we're interested in AP242? Do you know why the Multi-Protocol Parsing project might be harder, and are you comfortable you can understand and solve the associated tasks in the time available? These are questions that we can't answer for you, but are integral to your selection of project. You need to seize the initiative, select an idea you like, and determine how you would pursue your goals to fruition. GSoC projects are collaborative efforts, not just teachers or managers telling students what to do - you need to demonstrate initiative, select something *you* want to work on, and then explain to us in detail how you will achieve your goals.
