|
out=readstltriangles("filename.stl",scaling_factor); |
Returns an Mx3 matrix with vertices from all STL triangles from the specified STL file. scaling_factor: An STL file does not contain unit data. To import data in units of microns, set this value to 1e-6. For nanometers, set this value to 1e-9. |
Example
The following script command will read the STL file named "sample_file.stl" and save the vertex positions assuming units of micron.
vtx = readstltriangles("sample_file.stl",1e-6);
