export_STL_txt
Below is a demonstration of the features of the export_STL_txt function
Contents
clear all; close all; clc;
Plot settings
fig_color='w'; fig_colordef='white'; faceAlpha=0.5; fontSize=25;
Get patch data sets
[F1,V1]=stanford_bunny; meanV=mean(V1,1); V1=V1-meanV(ones(1,size(V1,1)),:); F2=F1; V2=V1/2;
Create the stlStruct
stlStruct.solidNames={'standford_bunny_big','standford_bunny_small'}; stlStruct.solidVertices={V1,V2}; stlStruct.solidFaces={F1,F2}; stlStruct.solidNormals={[],[]};
Plotting the models
pColors=autumn(numel(stlStruct.solidNames)); figuremax(fig_color,fig_colordef); title('Patch data to export to multi-solid STL','fontSize',fontSize); xlabel('X','fontSize',fontSize);ylabel('Y','fontSize',fontSize); zlabel('Z','fontSize',fontSize); hold on; for q=1:1:numel(stlStruct.solidNames) F=stlStruct.solidFaces{q}; V=stlStruct.solidVertices{q}; patch('Faces',F,'Vertices',V,'FaceColor',pColors(q,:),'EdgeColor','k','FaceAlpha',faceAlpha); end view(3); axis equal; axis tight; axis vis3d; grid on; camlight('headlight'); lighting phong; axis off; drawnow;

Exporting an STL file from the multi-solid patch data
%Set main folder and fileName defaultFolder = fileparts(mfilename('fullpath')); pathName=fullfile(defaultFolder,'data','STL'); fileName=fullfile(pathName,'standford_bunny_multi.stl'); export_STL_txt(fileName,stlStruct);
