STEP Importer

Changelog

v.1.0.2 - Minor:

• filepath no longer persists after first import, meaning you can "File > Import > STEP" as much as you need without needing to rely on drag and drop

Changelog

v.1.01 - Minor:

• Add Quality Presets
• Re-organize Import menu
• Nix the extra wheel (arm64 linux wheel shouldn't have been in there, added unnecessary size)

Changelog

1.0.0 Release!

• Fine-grained tessellation controls:
  • Linear tolerance (absolute or relative)
  • Angular tolerance
  • Relative tolerance mode (recommended for mixed-size assemblies)
• Post-import topology cleanup (optional, off by default):
  • Merge by distance to fix seam cracks between B-Rep faces
  • Limited dissolve to simplify coplanar face triangulation
  • Configurable distance and angle thresholds
• Shade Smooth on import option using angle-based edge sharpness
• Auto merges vertices that explicitly share normals during GLB import to reduce duplicate geometry and weld similar areas together.

Changelog

v0.9.2 Update wheels, again

Last version switched to the latest release in favor of the custom built wheels from the latest github commit, but this meant losing "Load" from Cascadio, something I didn't realize without a full re-launch of blender. Now uses Release Candidate 5 of Cascadio

Changelog

v0.9.1 - Wheel Change

• Updated the wheels included in the package to be direct downloads from pypi, originally they were custom builds that I had included from a previous test I was doing to attempt to get this add-on to work in 4.2+, but 5.1 ended up rejecting all manifests that included old python wheels even if the code itself protects against it.
• Also ensured to package cp313 wheels instead of cp312 wheels, despite working fine it's best to avoid issues.

Changelog

0.9.0

Initial blender release

• STEP Importer should be fully functional, once I'm sure I've worked out edge cases and added in a few QOL features I'll push a "Full" release.
