Stl2dat settings?

Hi folks,

as a stl2dat toddler I'd like to know what kind of settings you use for the
conversion with a spot on:

-eps value (default 0.01)
-teps value : minimum distance for coincidence (default 0.001)
-deps value : maximum determinant for coplanar quads (default 0.1)

I use the defaults listed at Marc's site:

http://marc.klein.free.fr/lego/stl2dat/stl2dat.html

but still get some quads with non-coplanar vertices. I guess this can be tweaked
with the teps and deps values. In addition I'd like to know if there is a
workaround for the origin point. Looks like the STL's origin is the highest
value on all three axes - is this correct? The -o XYZ option works fine but I'd
rather have the STL carry the origin I want.

Hi, (...) for teps (EG. 0.1) when the coordinates in the stl file have to few decimals. (...) The -deps value controls if two triangles can be merged to a quad. This value is related to the -det option of l3p -check (...) The STL format produced by (...) (17 years ago, 9-Nov-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
