TROUBLE OPENING STL FILES

TROUBLE OPENING STL FILES

TROUBLE OPENING STL FILES

(OP)
Before installing 2007 I never had a problem opening STL files in SW.  Since using 2007 everytime I go to open an STL file I get a window that says"This STL model has too many surfaces.  Please import this kind of model as graphics body".....

any suggestions how I can get the program to go back to opening STL files.

Thanks.

John

RE: TROUBLE OPENING STL FILES

Before selecting the STL file, select the STL type and open the {b]Options[/b] and change to suit.

cheers
