Importing STL files

Recommended Posts

Hey there, 

 

I've been using 123D Design to create some 3D designs that will eventually need to be imported into formZ and printed for uni. I've saved the files in an STL format and have tried to import them into formZ but it will only import a very small part of the design - 1 curve out of the whole design. Not quite sure what to do as I read that importing STL files into formZ was no issue. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi AkCoates,

 

Welcome to the forum!

 

Yes, Importing STL files into formZ should be fine.  Can you post a screen capture of what it should look like, and a corresponding STL file that is not working for you so we ca take a look?

 

Also, .OBJ files allow more information to be transferred.  If you try .OBJ, does that work better for you (and if not, can you also post an OBJ)?

 

Make sure to ZIP the OBJ and STL files before posting, but you can post a JPG file directly.  (Use the More Reply Options below -- or attach them to an email to support@formz.com if you prefer.)
