Smoothing doesn't take effect #12

Closed dmd closed 4 years ago

dmd commented 4 years ago

In two places you say to apply smoothing, but then to save it back to STL. That seems to have no effect - if you open up the saved STL file, it's back to the way it was.

Smoothing, saving to a .ply, loading that, then saving to a .stl seemed to do the trick.

Thanks for this input. In my case this worked. However, it was important to click on "File" and "Export Mesh" and overwrite the current file.
