Stereolithography files contain a tessellated (triangulated) representation of a structure. [[EM.Cube]] treats STL files in a special way. You can export the project structure 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 using CubeCAD's triangular surface mesher of the '''Structured Type'''. [[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 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 or delete nodes from the imported object.
