Angular Tolerance: This command limits the angle between the normals of adjacent triangles.The following command line options affect the quality of the STL and should be adjusted to produce an acceptable file:.Use the AMSTLOUT command to export your STL file.

You should now have an extra menu option (Export to DXF or STL) in the Sketchup Tools menu.

All objects must be entirely within the positive XYZ octant of the world coordinate system (WCS). Under Files of Type, select Lithography (*.stl).In the Export Data dialog box, enter a file name.Selected Only: Exports only objects that you selected in the 3D Studio scene.ASCII STL files are much larger than binary STL files. Binary/ASCII: Choose whether the STL output file will be binary or ASCII (character) data.Object Name: Enter a name for the object you want to save in STL format.If there are no errors, continue to export the STL file by:.Select “STL-Check” under Object-Space Modifiers.An STL object must define a complete and closed surface.If your CAD software is not listed below, please contact your CAD software technical support for information about exporting to an STL. Note: Please consult your user’s guide or the software developers for more information or technical support. The list is ordered alphabetically by product. Listed below are the steps for creating an STL file from different CAD systems. Below is some information found on the Internet regarding exporting to STL from various CAD packages. The finer the STL the larger the file is in size, which will affect processing time in Insight as well as build time. You don’t necessarily want to go too small. These are the parameters that affect the faceting of the STL. In the CAD package, when exporting to STL, you may see parameters for chord height, deviation, angle tolerance, or something similar.
