STL Write

Script to write STL format data.

This standalone script outputs element data in STL format, which can subsequently be read into other software, such as Microsoft PowerPoint using the insert 3D Model option.

Things to note:

  • Scripts outputs STL in ASCII format. These files can be quite large but are human readable. Most software will compress the data when read, e.g. PowerPoint will save a 10MB pptx file after reading a 100MB STL.
  • Script is limited to Shell and Solid parts. However there is a very obvious placeholder function for TShells, which could be expanded by the user if TShells are required (leave a comment if you think it would be helpful for me to add TShell support).
