|---|---|---|---|
| Usage | Use the operator to import ascii or binary files, you can select multiples files. For exporting, you can select multiples objects, they will be exported as an unique stl file. You can select between ascii/binary file format (binary is more compact). You can also choose to enable or disable the modifiers during the export. | ||
