Kindly provided by the Electron Ion Collider software group: https://github.com/eic/root2cad?tab=readme-ov-file
It allows to convert from the usual ROOT Geometry format into the CAD format, GLTF
Please refer to the README.md notes, but there is a caveat to be mentioned here. Even if it just refers to node >13, newest version installation will fail, due to "assert" being removed after node 22:
After some tests, I manage to have a working installation with node 18.20.0 (npm 10.7.0, automatically installed by the formed). Use
nvm install 18
npm install -g root2cad
Then, it should work (do nvm use 18 when you open a new terminal)
Listing volumes:
root2cad geofile_full.conical.PG_13-TGeant4.root FAIRGeom --ls --ls-depth 2
root2cad geofile_full.conical.PG_13-TGeant4.root FAIRGeom volTarget -o Target.gltf
Then we can check it and use it how we need to
