Stereolithography files contain a tessellated (triangulated) representation of a structure. [[EM.Cube]] treats STL files in a special way. You can export the physical structure of your project structure workspace into a STL file in the form of a polymesh object. This is similar to writing the structure mesh data into a mesh data file of ".msh" extension. The project structure is tessellated for export using CubeCAD's triangular surface mesher of the '''Structured Type'''mesh generator. [[EM.Cube]] gives you two options for STL export: '''Binary STL''' and '''ASCII STL'''. The latter file is bigger in size. You can import STL files of both binary and STL types into [[EM.Cube]]. STL models are imported as native polymesh objects. As a result, you can edit the imported objects and modify their various parameters arbitrarily. This is in contrast to different than importing files of other formats, which create solid and surface objects of the generic type. Once you import a STL file, you can change the mesh type of the imported object to the '''Regular Type'''. You can also decrease the '''Edge Length''' to obtain a higher resolution. Just like other polymesh objects, you can insert nodes on the faces and edges of the imported object or delete some of its nodes from the . Note that some objects might be imported objectto CubeCAD in a freeze state, and you need to unfreeze them before being able to edit their properties.
