There are still some inlined images. Is it possible to completely remove them? Otherwise it looks good to me. |

Maybe this is obvious but I'm not very familiar with Blender. I can't find where is the Utilities tab to confirm if I see the STEPper link.

Update: I found it within the plugin tabs. Perhaps a screenshot might help for newbies like me :)

| * Do not share the STEPper addon files. Each user must purchase their own license. Installation follows the same process as the SDF\_Gen addon. |

STEPper website claims that we need Windows. Do we need to install this plugin on Linux/Mac?

I learned that this plugin is just to import STEP files into Blender. I suggest to clarify that this is strictly speaking not needed to use the SDFGen plugin. If you have an .obj, stl, or .DAE file, for example, you're good to go.
