I am very new to zbrush and am having difficulties importing a .stl file that was created in Solidworks. I am using the stl print exporter plugin in 4r6 and am getting an “error oncountered while importing a file” message but after the message box is gone there is a box that says “STL file read in successfuly” though there is nothing on the screen. Is there something that has to be done with an stl file from solidworks before it can be imported or am I just missing a step or setting in Zbrush? Thanks for any help.
you are doing it right in Zbrush. Could be your solidworks STL exporting options? Are you able to import back or load in other program such as Meshlab?
Fixed it! Changed stl to Ascii and binary off and it worked.
