Thanks. Also thanks to Solidworks team for their powerful tool !

Yes. The STL format says that the triangles must be CW, so of course stl2dat keeps this information.
I did not yet add the BFC macro, I think I will add this for experimentation soon.
I will have to check the orientation for the cylinders if it is an outer or an inner cylinder. This should not take too
munch effort, as the normal of the face is also given in STL format.
