compas_brep

A unified Brep wrapper for the COMPAS framework with pluggable OCC and Rhino backends. See Motivation for why.

Provides a single Brep class with a stable public interface. The backend (OCC or Rhino) is selected automatically at runtime based on what is importable — see Architecture. All inputs and outputs are COMPAS types — never backend types.

Examples in examples/ have mostly been copied from COMPAS OCC which is used as benchmark for this project.

import os
from compas_brep import Brep, DATA
from compas_viewer import Viewer

brep = Brep.from_step(os.path.join(DATA, "box_with_holes.stp"))

for face in brep.faces:
    print(face.surface)  # Plane for flat faces, NurbsSurface for curved faces

viewer = Viewer()
viewer.scene.add(brep)

viewer.show()
