Hi Danny,

It can export either type, depending on the setting under Options > Import/Export > STL options > "File type". That can be set to either Binary or Ascii, the default is binary.

When you write out an STL, if there is just one object being exported and it has a name, MoI will write the object name into that header spot, if the object is not named it will write a generic "MoI Binary STL" for binary files, and a plain "solid OBJECT" label for ascii files.
