Some parameters are available in the Settings area to influence the quality / resolution of the STL geometry.

Write mode: Format (Binary / ASCII) for writing STL files.

Minimum element length: Minimum mesh element length.

Maximum element length: Maximum mesh element length.

Granularity: Controls mesh element size depending on edge- and surface-curvature.

Grading: Controls the growth rate of adjacent mesh elements.

Element optimization: Controls the shape optimization of initially created mesh elements.

Possible warnings

Problem

Possible solution

Model state contains no surfaces and no solids.

STL files describe triangulated surfaces. Points and curves cannot be represented.

Select a proper "Model state" containing surfaces or solids to be exported.
