SAT file testing #11

Closed easyw closed 6 years ago

easyw commented 6 years ago

Hi, I'm trying to load this SAT test file http://paulbourke.net/dataformats/sat/dice.sat (here a doc on SAT format you may already have http://paulbourke.net/dataformats/sat/sat.pdf ) but the result is wrong: dice

PS it would be possible to add to the 'FreeCAD\Mod\InventorLoader\Demo-Status' some SAT testing files as it is done for IPT?

Thx a lot for this WB! Maurice

Hello Maurice.

Sorry for answering so late.

Meanwhile I added the option to convert IPT/SAT files to STEP format - this leads to the correct result.

The bug is caused by a simple problem: if you cut a sphere along an edge you get two surfaces. But, which one should I use?

Thank you very much for the hint to add SAT files to the Demo-Status folder.

Kind regards, Jens
