Hi everyone!

I have an assembly whit 2 component. The first compenent whit one solid object, and the second one whit two solid object. How can I export in STL to have three differt STL file?

 

Thank you all for the help!

Simply open each part on its own and "save copy as" (or export.. cad format) to stl file.. remember to set the stl options before pressing the save button.

Thank you for the reply.

 

If I do this, if I select the component, I save 1 file whit 2 solid in the same model. I don't want this. I want to save a single solid in STL.

I have this situation. I have to export in STL the three component. The files "Solido" and "Solido4_V2" have only one solid model. The file "Solido4_V2" has 2 solid: "Rotore" and "Rondella".

@Anonymous  Sorry.. I missed the part about the 2 solid bodies..

In that case you open each part then simply expand the solids folder in the model browser and right click on the solid and turn off visibility of that solid and save copy as.. Then turn it back on and turn visibility of the other solid off and save copy as..

Voila..

Hi! Or, you can use Task Scheduler to export the folder or selected files to STL in a batch.

Many thanks!
