Cheers, Steve

Hi Steve - the option for what type of STL file is set under Options > Import/Export > "STL options" - that's for the setting for whether to write a Binary or Ascii type STL file.

Other than that, the other thing that comes into play are the meshing settings, are those what you mean?

By default the mesh settings do not stick between sessions - that's because some of the settings are scale dependent and so settings that work on one particular object do not necessarily apply to a different sized object.

If you would like you can make the mesh settings persist between sessions though - to do that edit the moi.ini file by going to Options > General > "Edit .ini file". Then inside the moi.ini file find the section for [Mesh Export] and inside that section there is a setting:

PersistSettingsBetweenSessions=n

Change that to say =y and then the values you set for the mesh export will stick between different sessions.

And if instead of having your settings persist you instead want to set what the defaults are, you can modify some of the other settings under the [Mesh Export] section, there are a bunch of ones that are empty but if you set them that will set the default, look for the ones like:

Angle=
DivideLargerThan=
DivideLargerThanApplyTo=
AvoidSmallerThan=
AspectRatioLimit=


If you add a value to the right of the = sign on any of those that should set the default.

thanks Michael, for both options :)

Hi Michael

If I set DivideLargerThanApplyTo=All in the ini file , STL export it still defaults to Curved

OSX 2.5 beta, no big deal, just thought I'll let you know. :)

Hi steve,

Try setting it in lower case, like this:   all

That can be one of:   curved   planes   all


It's not supposed to be case sensitive though, there seems to be some bug there I will take a look. But for now anyway if you put in: all it looks like it will work.
