pythonocc-core
--------------
About
-----
pythonocc provides 3D modeling and dataexchange features. It is intended to CAD/PDM/PLM/BIM development. It is based on the OpenCascade Technology modeling kernel.
Latest release: [pythonocc-core 7.8.1.1 (December 2024)](https://github.com/tpaviot/pythonocc-core/releases/tag/7.8.1.1)
Features
--------
pythonocc provides the following features:
* a full access from Python to almost all af the thousand OpenCascade C++ classes. Classes and methods/functions share the same names, and, as possible as it can be, the same signature
* 3D visualization from the most famous Python Gui (tkinter, pyQt5 and 6, PySide2 and 6, wxPython)
* 3D visualization in a web browser using threejs or x3dom frameworks
* 3D visualization and work within a jupyter notebook
* data exchange using most famous formats IGES/STEP/STL/PLY/OBJ/GLTF
* various utility Python classes/methods for Topology operations, inertia computations etc.

Install with conda
------------------
pythonocc provides precompiled [conda packages](https://anaconda.org/pythonocc/pythonocc-core) (they depend on third part libraries made available from the conda-forge channel) for python 3.9, 3.10 and 3.11. This will get you up and running in minutes whether you run win32/win64/linux64/osx64. Here is an example for python 3.10:
```bash
# first create an environment
conda create --name=pyoccenv python=3.10
source activate pyoccenv
conda install -c conda-forge pythonocc-core=7.8.1.1
```
Other conda channels may provide pythonocc-core packages, check https://anaconda.org/search?q=pythonocc-core.
Build from source
-----------------
