GREAT TOOL !

I haven't had time to check if the stl supports NURBS, or is it just a
normal poligon based format ?

I have currently the TECHNIC Tire and Wheel done, the ones that came with
the 8880 Super Car model (without the lines/optional lines), And the tool
I used, allows to save in this format, so I have got to try it out.

Buy the way, do you correctly generate these lines (expecially the
optional ones) ?

If Yes then this is promoted to one of the best tools we have, and it will
be used by me alot.

Maybe now I will make some parts and do all those difficult ones.

P.S.
Any one interested in the specific parts I mentioned ?
I have their numbers, but can't remember them now.

(...) STL only support triangles. Nurbs (and other geometry) must be converted by the CAD software to triangles. That's why I choosed STL : it already contains triangles and that's very near LDraw format. (In a geometric point of view) (...) Yes, I (...) (27 years ago, 10-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

A new release of stl2dat is available here (URL) creates now standard primitives n-4cyli.dat and n-4edge.dat. Some bugs have also been removed. stl2dat is an utilitary tool to convert .stl files issued from CAD software like Solidworks, Autocad, and (...) (27 years ago, 10-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
