One instance of trisurface for all runs
 
My .stl files are often quite large. In making copies of run folders (e.g. for different boundary conditions, mesh tests etc) I end up with lots of copies of these files which leads to unnecessary data storage.
So I wish that SHM would let me put a path in file name reference, e.g.
"../trisurface/MIT_RiverBed.stl" {type triSurfaceMesh; name wall_1;}
BUT it then ignores .stl file and if I use similar path for eMesh it gives error that .eMesh file can't be found.

(NB. I tried no "" and single ' around filename too)
If there is a way, please let me know, if not and any developers see this, please incorporate!!
