TC184/SC4 Issues : JT as a CAD standard from ISO TC184/SC4
- Web3D is asking ISO/IEC JTC1/SC24 what are the ISO procedures and rules for patents in ISO standards.
- We might invite TC184/SC4 to brief JTC1/SC24 and X3D CAD Working Group on their new standard.
- Dick please find/add link to relevant ISO standards documents
- Does this standard include patents and licensing fees?
- see press release: http://www.plm.automation.siemens.com/en_us/about_us/newsroom/press/press_release.cfm?Component=205727&ComponentTemplate=822
- "Siemens’ JT Data Format Accepted as the World’s First ISO International Standard for Viewing and Sharing Lightweight 3D Product Information"
- Don has sent them email asking for a conference about this erroneous and misleading statement.
- Shouldn't SC 24 also be concerned?
- What is the precise status of JT as a specification?
- Does Han SoonHung have any advice for us, I believe that he is our liaison to SC4/TC184
- What should we do next?
NURBS code integration in Xj3D NPS branch
- A working example, which can now be rendered from the NPS branch of Xj3D: http://spri2.kshell.com/xt/shape/sc4t2b2ry8hh/shape_2331363031.x3d . This was converted from a STEP file downloaded from the Elkhart Brass Co ( http://www.elkhartbrass.com/downloads/models ), makers of fire-fighting equipment.
- Vince is providing changes to Don, we are testing Xj3D source NPS branch, when done we will upgrade primary Xj3D trunk
- When we finish testing Xj3D on the X3D NURBS examples, NPS will work with Xj3D source list to update Xj3D trunk, we will conduct further testing on the x3d-public mailing list
X3DOM integration of CAD and NURBS nodes
- Vince has already built an extension to X3DOM source for CAD product structure nodes
- We are looking into how these improvements can be checked into X3DOM source on github (component or extension)
- Hyo is working on improvements to NURBS nodes
- Can we have a separate CAD call about how to maintain these things?
- Other Issues/News (be welcomed!)
