[Kiwiviewer] Loading STL File

[puneet batra]

Hi Pat,
 
It was mis information from the guy who gave me the STL file. On the PC it was loaded on a viewer which shows any the default color.I tried vtkSTLReader as well and it showed STL without color ( becasue STL don't have color).
 
Sorry to bother guys on the community, but sometimes deadlines make you look for all alternatives :)
 
Thanks,
Puneet

Hi Puneet,

Which program are you using on the PC to visualize the STL file?  KiwiViewer uses an STL reader provided by the VTK library, the vtkSTLReader, and I don't think this reader returns the color information that is stored in the STL file.
