Import

Importing a STEP file​

To import a STEP file into your project:

  1. Click the Import button in the bottom-left of the viewport UI.
  2. Select your .step file. FluidCAD converts it and saves it as imports/{filename}.brep in your project folder.
  3. Use load() in your code to load the imported file:
import { load } from 'fluidcad/core';

const part = load("bracket")   // loads imports/bracket.brep

The project structure looks like this after importing:

my-app/
├── imports/
│   └── bracket.brep           ← created by the import button
├── test.fluid.js
└── package.json

Transforming imported geometry​

After loading, you can move and rotate the geometry:

import { load, rotate, translate } from 'fluidcad/core';

const l = load("EGH20CA1R350Z0H_FILE_1")
rotate("x", 90)
translate(0, -50, 25)

Imported files preserve color metadata automatically.
