[Gmsh] build conformal mesh from STEP file using only the GUI

[Max Orok]

Hello Matthias,

Both of those commands are under the Geometry -> Elementary entities menu.

While the GUI is very nice, I personally prefer using a geo file and
opening it in the GUI, since it is a bit more reproducible for tricky
models.

Sincerely,
Max
