Adding a mesh to a panel
Various mesh types are supported already in Flowcode 6 with more mesh types planned for the future.
A supported mesh file can simply be dragged onto the system panel or dashboard panel and this will generate a .mesh resource file containing the object in a format that Flowcode can work with.
The system panel also has a Mesh primitive which automatically pops up a open file dialogue window when dragged onto the panel allowing you to specify an external mesh file.
Currently Supported Mesh Types
The mesh type sthat are currently supported in Flowcode v6 are:
- ASCII STL File *.STL
- Binary STL *.STL
- Object File *.OBJ
