Support of reading and writing tessellated geometry is added for the following STEP entities:
- triangulated face
- complex triangulated face
- tessellated shell
- tessellated solid
- tessellated shape representation
Models without BRep geometry (mesh formats like STL, OBJ and so on) are supported for writing to STEP.
New parameters are added to enable/disable tessellated geometry reading and writing:
- read.step.tessellated (On/Off/OnNoBRep) (On by default)
- write.step.tessellated (On/Off/OnNoBRep) (OnNoBRep by default)
OnNoBRep - tessellation is read/written only for entities for which there is no BRep representation.
Faces with poly triangulation are written in STEP as triangulated face entities with one coordinates list per face.
Only one poly triangulation per face (returned by BRep_Tool::Triangulation) is written to STEP.
Progress indication mechanism is refactored to support incrementing progress within multithreaded algorithms.
The class Message_ProgressIndicator is only an interface to the user application.
It accumulates the progress provided by progress scopes.
The counter is protected by mutex for thread-safety.
The new class Message_ProgressScope replacing Message_ProgressSentry should be used to advance the progress.
The scopes are nested to each other to reflect the nested nature of operations.
The new class Message_ProgressRange should be used to pass the progress to sub-scopes.
All OCCT algorithms involving progress indication have been updated to new API.
Improvements in Draw_ProgressIndicator:
- Separate console mode has been added in order to make possible to put the progress into std::cout instead
or in addition to the draw interpreter, instead of trigger option "-tclOutput".
- Treatment of Ctrl-Break signal has been added.
Now any operation can be aborted by Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Break keystroke.
Added new test case 'perf fclasses progr_par' for testing of parallel work of the progress.
Automatic upgrade of OCCT code by command "occt_upgrade . -nocdl":
- WOK-generated header files from inc and sources from drv are moved to src
- CDL files removed
- All packages are converted to nocdlpack
