Hi all,

I'm just curious that the official version can be imported STL format?

Hi Momso, no sorry that is not planned.

The official release will be basically the same as the current beta release, with just a few small extra bug fixes.

STL files contain triangles which is a much different way to define 3D objects than the smooth NURBS surfaces that MoI uses.

You will need a polygon editing tool to load an STL file - MoI does not do polygon editing.

Please see FAQ #3 for some more information.

It is possible to bring the wireframe edges of an STL file into MoI to use as a construction guide though, you will need to use a polygon conversion program to convert the STL file into an OBJ file and then use the OBJ wireframe converter utility mentioned in the FAQ answer.

- Michael
