3DS MAX – Micro Reference Manual – Modifiers – Mesh Editing – STL Check
The STL Check modifier checks an object to see if it’s correct for exporting to an STL (stereolithography) file format. Stereolithography files are used by specialized machines to produce prototype physical models based on the data in the STL file.
To create a physical model, an STL file must have a complete and closed surface. Using STL Check to test your geometry before you export it can save time and money when the file is used to create the physical model.
With this modifier you can:
– model a geometry
