I am very new to OpenFoam
I am trying to put a stl file in domain space created by blockMesh utility.
However , snapping isn't really happening . The mesh generated after snapping dosent really have my model from the stl file. I have scaled both blockMesh and Snappy Hex Dict to 0.001 as mentioned below to mm .
The domain space was very carefully made , i suspect that I am having a scaling issue.

I am also attaching the files. Thanks for taking time to help me out

BloxkMeshDict

backgroundMesh
{
xMin -260; //
xMax 26;
yMin -5; //
yMax 66;
zMin -5;
zMax 37;
xCells 286;
yCells 71;
zCells 10;
}

convertToMeters 0.001; // for mm 0.001

SnappyHexMeshDict


geometry
{
hemisphere.stl
{
type triSurfaceMesh;
scale 0.001;
name hemisphere;
}
//refinementBox
//{
//type searchableBox;
//min (-0.5 -0.2 -0.5);
//max (2.5 0.5 2.5);
//}

};

castellatedMeshControls
{
maxLocalCells 1000000;
maxGlobalCells 2000000;
minRefinementCells 100;
resolveFeatureAngle 42;
nCellsBetweenLevels 10;
features

}
);
