Ab4d.OpenCascade - Lost curves from loaded step file - Artipo - 10-30-2025

Hi,
First of all thank you for your amazing work.

We are trying to use your library Ab4d.OpenCascade to load a sample '.stp' file our customer has provided.
This file contains multiple PRODUCT(...) whose geometries are curves.

From what I understood reading the file I think the geometries are contained in 'GEOMETRICALLY_BOUNDED_SURFACE_SHAPE_REPRESENTATION' rows.

I've tried loading the file in the Ab4d.CadImported sample project, but I wasn't unable to see the lines.
As a comparison I've loaded the same file in FreeCAD successfully, which from my knowledge uses OpenCascade as well.

So my question is, are curve lines supported by your library? Should I be tweaking something to be able to load them?

Thank you for your time.
