Thread: Solidworks --> Open GL?

Hi everyone,

Just a quick question. If I wanted to design an object in SolidWorks, and then output that object (I guess as a .stl file), is it possible to open that up and manipulate using openGL? How would I go about doing that?

Thanks

Export a STEP, IGES, or STL file from SolidWorks and use OpenCASCADE to import and display the shape. I am a contributor to OCE, the OpenCASCADE community edition. If you have trouble, you can post to the mailing list, oce-dev. Pretty sure there's an example application for OpenCASCADE itself that shows how to make a standalone application to show a shape.
