With the release of 3DF 30.40, project files are no longer included in the customer packages. The package includes CMake files which can be used to generate the build/project files you need. CMake is an open-source, cross-platform tool. You will need to download / install CMake - Upgrade Your Software Build System (at least v3.31).

After downloading the 3DF package, you can generate build/project files using a cmake command like the following;

cmake -S . -B ./build -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

Basically, this command generates Visual Studio 2019 project files in a directory called build.

For more detail including usage on other platforms, please review the README.md included at the root level of the 3DF package.

I created a BATCH file (Windows Only) that you can use to generate project files easier.

  1. Extract cmake_build_2019.zip to HOOPS_INSTALL_DIR
  2. run cmake_build_2019.bat

If run successfully, Visual Studio will open solution with the projects files generated.
If you need to generate hio_exchange project, you can set variable on batch file and turn ON setting -DH3DF_USE_EXCHANGE=ON ^
