Hi,

I think that the "resources" folder is missing.

Here are a couple of things I noticed after a quick glance.

I wouldn't create a sketch and multiple extrude features for each pixel. Instead, I would create Temporary B-Rep Box. When creating the first box, you would save it. Then, for each box after that, you would union it to the first box, so you end up with a single body containing all the pixels. Once the body is complete, you can create a real body in a base feature if the design is parametric, or if it's not, you can create the body in the root component. Here's an example that illustrates much of the functionality supported by the TemporaryBRepManager. By doing this, you should see a dramatic improvement in the performance.

Instead of the progress dialog, I would use the new progress bar. To use it is very similar, so it should be easy to switch over.

I did think of using a temporary B-Rep box/sphere, but I thought it was only for parametric modeling, making it limited to my applications. But now that I look again, I see that it should also work for direct modeling. Thanks for pointing that out for me.
