Hi,
Is there any way to instruct the STL_MESH_MANAGER to output the file in STL binary format? Thank you.
Regards,
Raymond

Hi Raymond
The STL_MESH_MANAGER was originally written as code to demonstrate the type of things you could do with a mesh manager and distributed to customers as source code. I don't think it has been industrialized, so I would caution against using it in a critical application.
I just looked over the code for STL_MESH_MANAGER. It is hardcoded to write the output to stdout. Concievably one could redirect stdout to a binary file. There is one other problem with this though: I think the STL standard might be different for binary files and text files.
hope this helps
Eric Zenk
