OCAF Wizard

The wizard creates a project of MFC application that allows you to build a complete CAD/CAM/CAE application with the support of Open/Save operations and 3D Viewer, namely:

- Allows to create an OCAF skeleton application;

- Creates a functional OCAF application where all required methods are defined. This application allows to define the name of a resource file and to define formats in use;

- Allows to Open/Save OCAF documents;

- Enables saving/restoring of OCAF documents using the standard schema provided by Open Cascade. Allows to define extensions of saved OCAF files;

- Supports 3D Viewer;

- Support of 3D Viewer has been added to the generated OCAF application. Allows to view a trihedron in the 3D viewer.

Viewer 3D Wizard

The wizard creates a project of MFC application that allows you to build complete CAD/CAM/CAE applications that represent the Open CASCADE Hidden Line Removal algorithm. This enables you to extract 2d geometry of shapes from HLR computation. This application is designed to offer opportunities to display this geometry in a 2d viewer This geometry may be displayed in different display modes to highlight each kind of result (sharp edges, smooth edges...)
