Import STL files (3D)
Good morning

How can I import STL files (3D) with VariCAD?


Thanks

I tried to open a STEP file (converted with FreeCAD) but does not work!!
There are alternatives to import an STL file?!

What kind of file is STL file? The STEP file is marked as *.stp or *.step and it works fine in VariCAD since long time now.

Import STL files (3D)
con varicad esporto in file formato STL per la prototipazione veloce tramite stampanti 3D. Ho bisogno di file STL.
io posso decidere di creare una parte meccanica e poi esportarla ma non posso aprire direttamente un file STL creato da altre persone per aggiungere modifiche .
Forse io non so come fare
Dal sito http://www.thingiverse.com, io scarico molti file STL e spesso ho la necessità di modificarli essi. Questi file posso tranquillamente aprirli con altri CAD come FreeCAD ma con Varicad non so farlo

Io ho provato a cambiare estensione ai file (stp) ma non funziona!

Se Varicad può importare solo file STEP mi chiedo se è possibile convertire i file STL a STEP.

grazie

with VariCAD export files in STL format for rapid prototyping with 3D printers. I need to STL file.
I can decide to create a mechanical part and then export it but I can not directly open a STL files created by other people to add changes.
Maybe I do not know how to do
From http://www.thingiverse.com site, I download lots of files STL and I often need to edit them. I can easily open these files with other CAD systems such as FreeCAD VariCAD but do not know

I tried changing the file extension (stp) but does not work!

If VariCAD can only import files STEP I wonder if you can convert STL to STEP.

thanks

Unfortunately, VariCAD cannot import STL (3D) files. Import of 3D files is limited to STEP format only. You can, however, export (save as) 3D structure into STL, STEP or IGES.
