Hi Mathieu,

We use CGMA to read STEP/IGES files into SMTK (our internal format) and then convert that to a VTK multiblock dataset (one block per vertex/edge/face) in smtk/extension/vtk/source/vtkModelMultiBlockSource.{h,cxx} . You are welcome to use the code as is (i.e., create a ParaView plugin that links to smtkCore and vtkSMTKSourceExt) or adapt it to your needs as you like.
