    Just a wee bit on the settings you'll find in MicroStation V8 when exporting a 3D model to an STL file for rapid prototyping. With thanks to Dan Eng for his wisdom and and Matt Marhefka for his snazzy graphic!

    For those of you needing to export your 3D model to an STL file, you may be interested in the following information regarding the settings you see in the export dialog:

    Since a picture is worth a thousand words.....take a peek at the following. Speaks for itself.

    For additional information regarding steriolighography, STL files, and rapid prototyping, take a look at the following links. There's some great information in them!
