Do you have in mind to implement the features that are present in the readme file? Thanks

jallwine commented 3 years ago

Which ones do you have in mind? I don't actively develop this tool, but a few have been implemented that aren't documented in the readme.

Hey Jallwine, thansk for the answer! I would like to calculate the volume of the stl file, because I need for 3D printing. It is not necessarly that is 100% accurate, it is only to estimate it.

This is the most interesting and most complex command I think.

Thanks a lot, Carlo

Calculating the volume is actually fairly straight forward. See this blog post for the details of how to do it: https://n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/blog/?p=4415

I went ahead and added an stl_volume that performs the calculation: https://github.com/AllwineDesigns/stl_cmd/blob/master/src/stl_volume.cpp
