Any news on Linux support?

andyward commented 6 months ago

Realistically it won't be any time soon. It needs a major change to the Geometry module to support Linux as per https://github.com/xBimTeam/XbimGeometry/issues/461#issuecomment-1918939622

Currently we're focussing on get v6 Geometry out with IFC4x3support on netcore 6+

In the interim your best option using xbim is probably to wrap this conversion up into some self-contained service that you invoke from your linux app. (i.e. we provide this as a REST API call in Flex Flow).

When are you planning to release XbimGltf?

This is probably one for @CBenghi as he maintains this repo. I believe a 5.1 version is published to nuget

Its not a big problem, I'm using it in a ASP.NET Webapp hosted on Azure App Service and the Windows environment cost 50€ vs Linux with just 10€. Although long term it would be great to have it detached from Windows.

Thank you for your great service and effort, Xbim rescued me 2 years ago when the Tridify service suddenly did shutdown.
