Overall Purpose of VTube-STEP: Import Solid Models from ANY Solid Model CAD Program to Convert to Bender Data

VTube-STEP extracts tube data from a STEP or IGES solid model file - from any solid model CAD package.

VTube-STEP can import centerline data from cylindrical or rectangular solid models that have no centerline.
