Importing STL model files

This topic lists the requirements for importing stereolithography (*.stl) files.

1. The STL file should be complete and incorrupt.

   An ASCII .stl file must start with the lower case keyword solid and end with endsolid.

   For example:

   solid
   ...
   facet normal 0.00 0.00 1.00
   outer loop
   vertex 2.00 2.00 0.00
   vertex -1.00 1.00 0.00
   vertex 0.00 -1.00 0.00
   endloop
   endfacet
   ...
   endsolid
   

2. The STL file can be in either ASCII or binary format. It is important to use the correct format with FTP. For example, if you have a binary STL file, you must set the FTP file type to "binary" before transferring.
3. Only one solid should be present.
