The application stl2Shape can be found in the folder Rockable/Converters/stl2Shape. It allows for the conversion from a binary STL file to a shape-file that can be used by Rockable.
It uses the library tclap to parse the command line arguments. You can thus use the -h or --help argument to show all possible arguments:
USAGE:
./stl2Shape [-m <double>] [-s <double>] -r <double> -i <string> [--]
[--version] [-h]
Where:
-m <double>, --maxLength <double>
Set the maximum length of the output object
-s <double>, --scaleFactor <double>
Set the re-scale factor of the output object
-r <double>, --radius <double>
(required) Minskowski radius to be used
-i <string>, --input <string>
(required) Name to STL binary file
--, --ignore_rest
Ignores the rest of the labeled arguments following this flag.
--version
Displays version information and exits.
-h, --help
Displays usage information and exits.
Convert a binary STL file to a shape that can be used by Rockable
The arguments --maxLength (-m) and --scaleFactor (-s) will both affect the chosen radius. No extra-data (OBB, inertia, volume, etc.) will be saved in the output shape-file. this means that the application shapeSurvey will be used to compute these extra-data.
