This command allows you to select the STL export options.

Creation stages / Use:

This command is launched when exporting one or several documents as STL.

• • Mode: Select the file format. If you select several shapes to export, you have to choose TEXT format, in fact the BINARY format is not supported by STL standard when exporting several shapes. The binary file size is smaller than the text format size.

• • Surface tolerance: Surfaces are transformed into triangular facets. This tolerance is the arrow between the actual surface and the facet that will be created upon export.

• • Maximum length of facets: The length of the facets can be imposed. If the value is 0mm, the export does not take into account this setting.

  • Agregate shapes : STL norm supports only one shape by file. This option allows, if there is many shapes, to agregate shapes in one (in STL sense)

  • Select the Representation to export.

  • • or the entities to export

    • or the set to export

  • If an assembly with mechanism is exported, it is also possible to choose the configuration or the simulation to export.

  • Simulation: This option is only available from an assembly with a simulation. In this case, a drop down list allows you to select the simulation to export.

  • Reference frame (only for assembly): Allows to select a reference frame if needed. If no frame is selected,the absolute frame will be used.

  • Validate.
