Syntax

public class STLExportOptions : BIMExportOptions

The STLExportOptions type exposes the following members.

Constructors

Name

Description

Public Method
STLExportOptions.

Constructs a new instance of STLExportOptions with default values of all properties.

Public Method
STLExportOptions(ExportResolution)

Constructs a new instance of STLExportOptions with all predefined tessellation settings, depending on export resolution type. Note: in case of Custom resolution type, tessellation settings won’t be predefined and will have default values.

Properties

Name

Description

Public Property

ExportBinary

True to export in binary STL format, false to export in ASCII STL format. Default value is true.

Public Property
ExportColor

True to export color information, false otherwise. Default value is false.

Public Property
GridAspectRatio

The maximum aspect ratio allowed in the grid placed across the face. The minimum allowed value is 1.0. The maximum allowed value is 10.0. By default this property is ignored.

Public Property
IsValidObject

Specifies whether the .NET object represents a valid Revit entity.
(Inherited from BIMExportOptions)

Public Property
MaxEdgeLength

The maximum length allowed for any chord on an edge or between any two adjacent grid lines. This is a percentage value. By exporting, the real value of maximum edge length is calculated as a percent from the length of the diameter of the body bounding box. The minimum allowed value is 0.1%. The maximum allowed value is 10.0%. By default this property is ignored.

Public Property
NormalTolerance

The maximum change in the surface normal between adjacent nodes in the mesh. This property is defined in degrees. The minimum allowed value is 1.0 degrees. The maximum allowed value is 45.0 degrees. Default value is 15.0 degrees.

Public Property
SurfaceTolerance

The maximum distance between mesh triangles and model geometry. This is a percentage value. By exporting, the real value of surface tolerance is calculated as a percent from the length of the diameter of the body bounding box. The minimum allowed value is 0.001%. The maximum allowed value is 1.0%. Default value is 0.1%.

Public Property

TargetUnit

The unit type of geometry in the resultant STL file. Default value is ExportUnit::Default.

Public Property

ViewId

The element id of the 3D view to export. InvalidElementId by default.
