VTK Export for Bricscad is a Visualization Toolkit (.vtk) file export plug-in for Bricscad®. This plug-in gives Bricscad the ability to export geometric data from Bricscad to ASCII and Binary VTK files.
VTK Export for Bricscad extracts facet data from 3D Face, Polygon Mesh and PolyFace Mesh objects in the active Bricscad drawing and exports it to a VTK file.
VTK Export for Bricscad is very easy to use. Once installed, it must be loaded into the Bricscad environment. There are simple instructions for this in the ReadMe file. Once loaded it adds new commands to Bricscad's existing commands and a new submenu called "VTKExport" to the Bricscad menu containing these newly added commands.

The VTK File Format
The Visualization ToolKit (VTK) is an open source, freely available software system for 3D computer graphics, image processing, and visualization used by thousands of researchers and developers around the world. VTK consists of a C++ class library, and several interpreted interface layers including Tcl/Tk, Java, and Python. The Toolkit stores geometric data in a file format known as VTK. Very few CAD applications have the ability to read and write VTK files.
