Samriddhi Sharma (Jan 16 2026 at 13:08):Hi everyone! I'm Samriddhi , a student interested in contributing to BRL-CAD for GSoC 2026. I've been looking at Issue #102 regarding the LS-DYNA k-file converter. I’m currently setting up my local build environment to explore the code. I'm excited to learn more about BRL-CAD’s geometry conversion logic.

Divyanshu Garg (Jan 29 2026 at 17:57):Hey @Deep Raj welcome to the community
You may want to take a look at the projects in the brl cad repository and also checkout previous years issue list, pick a project that fits your goals of learning and exploring
Deep Raj (Jan 30 2026 at 09:47):Hi everyone,
I’ve cloned the BRL-CAD repo and attempted a native Windows build using CMake + Visual Studio 2022.
Configuration succeeds, but the bext dependency build fails mid-way (MSB8066), which I understand is a known Windows limitation.
I’m primarily interested in JS/web-based contributions, so I’m planning to focus on areas like the Online Geometry Viewer and related tooling that don’t require a full native build.
Could you point me to JS-friendly components or small starter issues where I can begin contributing?
Daniel Rossberg (Jan 30 2026 at 22:50):The build with Visual Studio 2022 doesn't work, unfortunately. See #brlcad > general chat
However, for developing Java Script ad-ons on Windows you can start with the binary installation file provided with the release.

Myself Vraj Mevada ,currently 2nd year CSE student at VIT Chennai,
I am currently interested in this issue https://github.com/opencax/GSoC/issues/110
But before that , I’d like to get more familiar with the contribution workflow. Are there any current issues or beginner-friendly tasks you would recommend investigating as a starting point?
I have experience with C++ ,Qt.
Daniel Rossberg (Feb 26 2026 at 09:15):Hi @Vraj Mevada, this is an OpenSCAD project idea. They have their own chat: https://web.libera.chat/?channel=#openscad You should post your question there.
