Converting file formats

[miclog]

Is there a good way to write a file converter using OCE? Are there any existing examples to work from?

I would like to convert from STEP to X3D format.

The program SFA by NIST does a good job but might be slowed down by the Python interface and being in a self-contained executable. I'd like to try using the C++ library directly instead of loading it from Python using PythonOCC.

Have you looked into IfcOpenShell/IfcConvert?

Have a look at https://github.com/tpaviot/pythonocc-demos/blob/master/examples/core_webgl_STEP_to_X3D.py

Can this be done with OCE alone in C++?

Generally speaking, I don't know any python program that could not be done using c++
