(...) If Michael Lachmann would put this and the other tools from Philo into MLCad we would have a very very good tool for parts developing. I hope Michael reads this lines ;-) cu mikeheide (16 years ago, 5-Jul-08, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)

All triangles, quads, lines and conditional lines in cut file are split where they meet triangles or quads of the cutter file. Program, documentation, source code (...)

Hi, (...) Its a tough problem ! The problem is, that stl2dat does not recalculate or modify the triangles that are in the stl file. The only thing stl2dat makes is to bind the triangles into ldraw primitives or quadrangle. To solve your problem (...) (16 years ago, 29-Jun-08, to lugnet.cad.dev)
