Hi,
is there any way to create a series of (JPG/TIFF or. any other) images from a .STL file?
I am a graphic designer & want to print a book with each layer on one page,
Can anyone help me with this please?
I work on a Mac
Thank you!!!

Hi - If you load the STL and make the slice intersections visible you can use the ScreenCapture module to generate a series of image files.
