Noticed that while exporting some of my models to fusion.
Freecad cant even import back some STEP files it produce.

Code: Select all

21:31:12  <Part> ViewProviderExt.cpp(1340): Cannot compute Inventor representation for the shape of Unnamed#Part__Feature
Fusion can, but they look very bad.

IGES export works fine.

You need a other version of OCCT. In OCCT7.5.0 there is a step issue. On OCCT7.5.3 it will probably work. It works here in OCCT7.6.0 flawless.

I see. Good to know it works with next OCCT version.

Updating OCCT will require to recompile whole FreeCAD from sources, correct? As usual windows peasant i will wait for 0.20 release(hope is, it will come with new OCCT), compiling is a too big task for me.
