Hello,
Looking to get some more insight on the export process to stl format, and maybe understand the difference between simplified and detailed export.
I am automating some graphics and when i export i use the command line input from the rhinoscriptsyntax lib and i inject export something like this
-Export SaveSmall=No GeometryOnly=No SaveTextures=No SavePlugInData=Yes “stst.stl” _Enter D A Angle=0 AspectRatio=6 Distance=0.001 Density=0 Grid=0 MaxEdgeLength=0 MinEdgeLength=0.0001 _Enter _Enter
but the result of this is not satisfactory as the model is exported with some bad geometry (instead of a flat roof some triangles are slammed inside but not empty which is already better than holes)
I do get a good result when i use the regular export function, where i insert the stl file name and Tolerance set to 0.001 which as i understand is the Distance option in the detailed export, file size comes out nearly identical some kb more in the detailed version
like 0.01% difference.
adding some pictures to elaborate on settings
next are the simplified controls and the detailed hidden behind
bottom line is im trying to simulate the simplified using the detailed.
currently i wont be sharing the models theoretical talk is good enough for me if we wont be able to make progress ill try to extract some juicy models to work with
