Geometry Open

 

The Geometry Open

 

This button will activate a Windows file browser.

 

From this window, you can select one geometry file. The selected file will be read into sliceOmatic when you click the “Open” button.

 

 

 

You can read geometries in one of the following formats:

 

 

mov

Movie.BYU format.  This old polygon format, developed by Brigham Young University for their MOVIE.BYU program in the 80's, is very simple which make it ideal to store simple polygonal objects such as those created in sliceOmatic.  The format is described in more detail in appendix E.

 

 

dxf

Autocad file format.  A definition of the DXF file format can be found in Wikipedia.

 

Note:

Autocad is a rather complex format, sliceO only read some of the info in that format.

 

 

stl

&

stl_ascii

 

Stereolithography file format (binary version and ASCII versions). A definition of the STL file format can be found in Wikipedia.  SliceOmatic can create and read ".stl" files.

 

 

wrl

A VRML polygon file. A definition of the VRML file format can be found in Wikipedia.
