I did not want to discourage you! OCC will gladly consume your contributions, and there are tons of things to fix in the library. Then, there are features that do not exist and can be added to OpenCascade. So there's definitely huge space for contributions, although I know that folks do not like contributing to OpenCascade because of the CLA they ask you to sign.I will try to find a project I can start contributing to.
Would you like to join https://gitlab.com/ssv/AnalysisSitus project?! I believe there tons of things are waiting for such enthusiastic hands@Quaoar you are right, it is probably the last thing I should do.
I hope you succeed. Good luck.

You didn't discourage me, quite the opposite. You did make me realize that is it beyond my current abilities!I did not want to discourage you!

Yes! If you have some simple things to get me started, I'd be happy to give it my best try.Would you like to join https://gitlab.com/ssv/AnalysisSitus project?! I believe there tons of things are waiting for such enthusiastic hands
It might be reasonable for you to pick up something for the CAM system you're developing and what you feel could be open-sourced as well. Here you mentioned collision detection, for example. Likely, there are many other topics you wanna touch, and it's completely up to you to decide on that. We could probably move this discussion to the topic devoted to your CAM system and continue there.Yes! If you have some simple things to get me started, I'd be happy to give it my best try.

Thank you, it is greatly appreciated.@Jonathan Let's continue here. So if you have a CAD subject in the scope of your CAM system that is worth publishing in open source, you can consider contributing it to Analysis Situs. I can provide all necessary mentoring if you wish.
Feel free to pick up any task you like from https://gitlab.com/ssv/AnalysisSitus/-/issues?page=2&state=opened. Assign it to yourself and let's communicate on it there!Yes! If you have some simple things to get me started, I'd be happy to give it my best try.
I will look this weekend, hopefully I can find something easy to begin with.Feel free to pick up any task you like from https://gitlab.com/ssv/AnalysisSitus/-/issues?page=2&state=opened. Assign it to yourself and let's communicate on it there!
I hope I will somehow figure it out, this whole thing makes me feel so dumb. but I keep going because eventually I make something work and it's really encouraging and then I struggle a lot lol. I am glad I found this forum, I know there are a lot of very smart people here!@Jonathan It's really amusing to read your post because my story is really similar to yours. I started a project in June where I prototyped a non-planar-ish based slicer in Blender, then went on to use PythonOCC. But I was always struggling with performance something I suspected was due to Python being slow. Anyways, I did this as an intern in a company this summer and the company loved it, so they hired me to make this something similar as a real working software. So now I'm making a kind of CAM type of software using OCCT and C++. Oh man, I've been sleepless some nights working on this, and I've close to telling my managers that I can't do this. But I have stuck it out - and so far it works. Don't give up
