A Python package to read/write STEP data files.
Project description
STEPutils
THIS PROJECT IS IN PLANNING STATE!
Abstract
STEPutils is a Python package to manage STEP model data.
The intention of this package is to build a simple document object model (DOM) for STEP model data like
xml.etree.ElementTree
for XML data. STEPutils could be used as import/export layer for CAD like application.
The DOM has methods to traverse, create and delete object nodes but no further CAD-like functionality like translating,
scaling or rotating objects, if you need that - you are looking for a CAD application like
FreeCAD.
For more information about the STEP (ISO 10303) standard read this Wikipedia article.
