Really I'm ashamed, because I don't understand how I could have missed this novelty, and to think that I constantly follow this add-on, it's still all very little more than a basic thing but it exports the subdivision surfaces in Nurbs patches, i.e. this component exports the #NURBS of #Blender in #IGES, not the subdivision surfaces and is also present in the Blender development portal. #b3d #blender3d https://github.com/UF-CISE-Surflab/blender-polyhedral-splines

I convert all the #CAD files that are in #STEP and #IGES and also in 3dm in the native format of #FreeCAD, for those in #3dm I will do the conversion in two steps, these huge formats cannot be stored, they eat the space on the HD, the worst is 3dm, huge proprietary format. #fc3d

My tiny #gCAD3D has recently been updated to version 2.60, very useful when others fail in certain operations I do, it has some defects, but it is powerful if used in the correct way with many functions and installed it occupies only 1.8MB ;)
For #Ubuntu #Deb or #RPM is needed this dependencies "libgtkgl2.0-1" to make it working, is under rewrite of some part but works with it until the update of# #IGES of the export code. #CAD #linux #OpenSource

Sometimes I try them all but in the end even if #gCAD3D has its flaws it remains the only one that manages to export #STEP or #IGES files that can be opened by #Plasticity, I'm talking about #DXF drawings, I have to do so many of these steps it's incredible that #Moi3D, #FreeCAD or Cad Assistant all fail and a 1.3mb program does the job just fine.

If someone need a simple #propellers and #planes generators there is a nice parametric #opensource application that export geometries into #IGES or #STEP.

Now I'm using a little bit more the #IGES export add-on for #Blender is quite clean topology, and with that small patches you can extract a good spline and remake the surfaces without trouble, here a model imported into #Plasticity which is on sale from tomorrow! #CAD #b3d

A tip for those who occasionally use the #IGES add-on for #Blender to export SubDs to IGES from Blender, avoid level 3 and 2 because they add an excessive subdivision in the critical areas which should be reconstructed later. Here IGES imported in #Plasticity an upcoming #CAD

If you have time to learn this is another great CAD, very simple but also so powerful. Is #gCAD3D a #CAD that struggled me at beginning but now I understood and I like it. This is a Whitehall row boats. Totally done with manual inserting via code.
gCAD3D works well with #CATIA step file and if you have a #IGES or a STEP you can Inspect the code and learn how make surface via coding.
Don't underestimate the power of gCAD3D 😎
