◆ Read()

static Standard_Boolean StlAPI::Read ( TopoDS_Shape theShape,
const Standard_CString  aFile 
)
static

Legacy interface. Read STL file and create a shape composed of triangular faces, one per facet. This approach is very inefficient, especially for large files. Consider reading STL file to Poly_Triangulation object instead (see class RWStl).

Deprecated:
("This method is very inefficient; see RWStl class for better alternative")

◆ Write()

static Standard_Boolean StlAPI::Write ( const TopoDS_Shape theShape,
const Standard_CString  theFile,
const Standard_Boolean  theAsciiMode = Standard_True 
)
static

Convert and write shape to STL format. File is written in binary if aAsciiMode is False otherwise it is written in Ascii (by default).
