I'm grateful for the advice and I'm going to come back with my feedback when I test the software you recommended. Even if I reduce the STL, the models are hard to manipulate and if you manage to be patient enough you will never be able to manualy set the CS correctly (you will always have an error of measurement because it is set manualy without proper references to the model). The problem is when you try to set new CS in usual CAD software. So yeah, as you said, I need the measurements which define the minimum volume of the actual object. The measurements are relative to the CS (coordinate system) with which the STL was exported from dental CAD software and I doubt that the person creating the STL has the orientation of the model in mind while doing it. Any kind of advice (about anything) is also welcome! This is my first post so thank you for understanding (and the pun was intended)! :) The link where you can see the examples of the models:Īny kind of information or advice is welcome and if you have additional questions for me feel free to ask. And if the model is not made with coordinate system position in mind then I get the "crooked" model where the maximum height is, for example, 34 mm instead 25 mm. Or they measure maximum dimensions but relative to the coordinate system that the model has. And usual STL viewers come with measuring tools where you can pick points and measure distance between them (obviously) but that method is not precise enough. The geometry of the STLs is very complex (3D scans of teeth) and you can't simply align the model with the plane (there is no perfectly straight plane with which you could align the tooth model to the default XY plane). I have a problem where I have a bunch of STLs with differently oriented coordinate systems. I only need the maximum height, width and depth of the model relative to the model itself. Non-reddit communities are listed in our getting started guideĭoes somebody know an STL viewer with aligning and measuring options? To be more specific, I need a tool to measure actual maximum dimensions of the model, not the maximum dimensions relative to the coordinate system with which the models they come to me.
