StlReader
[ Up: Operation Reference ]

Reads a STereoLithography (.STL) file from a source location into a MeshModelInterface object.

  • Default label: "STL reader"
  • Member of plug-in: Mesh
  • Catalogue path: FileIO/Readers
Inputs:
File nameQString

Mesh model interfaceModified-in-placeCSIRO::Mesh::MeshModelInterfaceA source MeshModelInterface to populate - can be left empty unless you have a specific MeshModelInterface type to be used
Node merge thresholdDeprecateddoubleNodes with a proximity smaller than this value will be merged together into a single node in the output MeshModelInterface. Input "Node merge threshold" is not used or needed by the STL reader.
Typical element sizeDeprecateddouble

Indicator of node spacing in the mesh (used for node spatial searching). Setting this too high will decrease loading time, while a value too low will use excessive amounts of memory. Input "Typical element size" is not used or needed by the STL reader.
