Taros Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 3.2.08 - CUDA 64bit Win7 Hello. I have exported a STL model out of 3DC and then tried to import it back to 3DC. I tried to use it as a per pixel painting object. It was impossible to reimport the model. 3DC freezed. Any ideas? Attached the used model.

Taros Posted April 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 More infos: I have imported the exported STL file from 3DC into the small tool "MiniMagics" (Freeware), to check the model. It seems that 3D Coat doesn't export the whole model, but several polygons only. Please check this. I need the STL export for interchange my models between different tools. Thank you Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Shpagin Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 I will fix it in next build but now you can easily fix it manually. Open STL file in text editor. How it looks now: solid outer loop facet normal -0.333726 -0.243567 -0.910660 vertex -7.843089 1.364006 -2.740664 vertex -7.730649 0.105037 -2.437925 vertex -8.353742 0.076765 -2.209239 vertex -8.427097 1.214144 -2.479345 endloop endfacet .......... How it should look: solid ABC outer loop facet normal -0.333726 -0.243567 -0.910660 vertex -7.843089 1.364006 -2.740664 vertex -7.730649 0.105037 -2.437925 vertex -8.353742 0.076765 -2.209239 vertex -8.427097 1.214144 -2.479345 endloop endfacet .......... There was missed name of the object. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taros Posted April 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Hi. I made the modifications and 3D Coat is able to load the model, now. But one problem still exists, and makes it impossible to share the model with my clients: When I try to load the modified STL model into the STL viewer "MiniMagics", the program tells me, that there are still bugs. Furthermore I see polygon holes in the mesh inside MiniMagics. Any idea? Best wishes Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Shpagin Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Ok, I will look MiniMagic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Shpagin Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 It looks like MiniMagic does not accept non-triangular STL files in ASCII format. So, it looks like a bug of that program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taros Posted April 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Hello. Yesterday I've send the 3DC-exported and corrected STL model to a client. The client checked the file in three different programs. No program could read the exported STL file from 3D Coat correctly! There were errors like "negative dimensions" or "bad normal lines" and a third message, that he didn't explained in detail. I asked them to send me the errors in detail, if possible as log files and tell me the tools, they used. I wait for the infos and will post them here, if possible.
