Dear all,
This morning, I wanted to run a script that I ran several times but something unexpected happened.
The script initializes a few settings. Amongst others, it makes sure that the measurement system is in mm
Rhino.UnitSystem 2, False
However, I wanted to import an STL with different STL model Units (cm) and manually imported that STL to compare with the outcome of a shape of our script, which imports its STL shape using
Rhino.Command “-_Import " & CHR(34) & strStlFileName & CHR(34) & " _Enter”
Now the tricky part comes: after I had manually imported an STL in cm units, my script imported the STL also in cm, while the Rhino measurement system was still in mm. Is there a way to make sure that the STL import settings can be set to mm? When manually importing an STL, you get a dialog to set these units, but how to do that in script to make sure measurement units are consistent?
In short: can I specify in the following command or somewhere else in Rhinoscript which STL model units to use:
Rhino.Command “-_Import " & CHR(34) & strStlFileName & CHR(34) & " _Enter”
instead of using the units used during the previous manual STL import?
Many thanks in advance,
Filip
