Steps to Convert STP to OBJ via C#
.NET programmers can easily load & convert STP files to OBJ in just a few lines of code.
- Load STP file with Image.Load method
- Set an object of CadRasterizationOptions with page height & width
- Create an instance of ObjOptions class and set its VectorRasterizationOptions property
- Call Image.Save method while passing the resultant file path & object of ObjOptions
System Requirements
Before running the .NET conversion code, make sure that you have the following prerequisites.

STP What is STP File Format?
An STP file is a 3D CAD file used for exchange of product data between CAD and CAM applications. It contains information about 3D objects and is saved similar to the STEP file format. STP files facilitate the exchange of data between applications as per the STEP Application Protocols ISO 10303-2xx. This ISO defines the encoding mechanism for data representation in EXPRESS data modeling language. STP files can be opened in applications such as such as Autodesk Fusion 360.

OBJ files are used by Wavefront’s Advanced Visualizer application to define and store the geometric objects. Backward and forward transmission of geometric data is made possible through OBJ files. Both polygonal geometry like points, lines, texture vertices, faces and free-form geometry (curves and surfaces) are supported by OBJ format. This format does not support animation or information related to light and position of scenes. An OBJ file is usually an end product of the 3D modeling process generated by a CAD (Computer Aided Design). The default order to store vertices is counter-clockwise avoiding explicit declaration of face normals. Though OBJ files declare scale information in a comment line yet no units have been declared for OBJ coordinates.
