For a seamless open and preview of geometric data, a rendered body would be helpful. Depending on the size of a body, such a rendering need time. Since STEP 242 it is supported to store a tessellated_shape_representation along with the body.
I propose add a tick:
With this tick every time a STEP older than 242 is opened, a tessellated_shape_representation is calculated and inserted after the STEP file is converted and enhanced to a STEP 242.
