stl-g — Stereolithography Translator (STL to BRL-CAD)
stl-g [-db ] [-i initial_ident] [-I constant_ident] [-m material_code] [-N forced_name] [-c units] [-t tolerance] [-x RT_DEBUG_FLAG] file.stl file.g
stl-g
converts the specified
file.stl
to a BRL-CAD
file.g
file. Use the
-b
option if you have a binary STL file (the default is ASCII).
The
-d
option prints debugging information.
The
-c
option specifies the units that are used in the STL file. The
units
string may be "mm", "in", "ft", ... (default is "mm").
The
-t
option specifies a tolerance distance (in mm) such that any two vertices
within tolerance distance of each other are treated as the same vertex.
The
-i
option sets the starting ident number for the regions created. As each
new region is created, this number will be incremented before assigning
the next ident number (conflicts with
-I
). The
-I
option sets a constant ident number that will be assigned to all the regions created (conflicts with
-i
).
The
-m
option sets a material code that will be assigned to all the regions created (default is 1).
The
-N
option sets a name for the resulting BRL-CAD object. STL files typically do not contain any
object names.
The
-x
option sets an RT debug flag (see raytrace.h).
The
file.stl
file is expected to be a stereolithography file.
