Imports an STL file for use in the current OpenSCAD model

Parameters

"<file name>": A string containing the path to the STL file to include. Double-quotes are required.

convexity: Integer. The convexity parameter specifies the maximum number of front sides (back sides) a ray intersecting the object might penetrate. This parameter is only needed for correctly displaying the object in OpenCSG preview mode and has no effect on the polyhedron rendering.

Usage examples:

import_stl("example012.stl", convexity = 5);
