Software advice on fitting an orifice within a cylinder

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding suitable software to fit an orifice within a cylinder, specifically using an STP file format that is not supported by the current platform. Participants suggest changing the file extension to "txt" for uploading and recommend informing others to revert it back to "stp" for use in 3D design software. Additionally, sharing screenshots in JPG or PDF formats is advised to provide visual context for the design. Various online resources and viewers for STP files are mentioned, including links to file viewers and conversion tools that could assist in the process.

TL;DR Summary
I'd like to get some advice on what software is best to fit an orifice within a cylinder.
I have a stp file (PF does not support it so I cannot upload it here. If there is a way I can share it please let me know) of an orifice and I want to create a new file where the orifice is fit inside a cylinder.

What software do you recommend me to use?

Thank you! :)

You can change the file extension to "txt" and upload it. Then tell people that it's an "stp" file, so they need to change the file extension before loading it into their 3-D mechanical design package.

It also helps if you save a few screenshots as JPG or PDF files and upload those too, so that others have an idea what your design looks like in your design package.

Thread 'Star maps using Blender'
Blender just recently dropped a new version, 4.5(with 5.0 on the horizon), and within it was a new feature for which I immediately thought of a use for. The new feature was a .csv importer for Geometry nodes. Geometry nodes are a method of modelling that uses a node tree to create 3D models which offers more flexibility than straight modeling does. The .csv importer node allows you to bring in a .csv file and use the data in it to control aspects of your model. So for example, if you...
I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
