August 6, 2009, 04:00	stl and snappyHexMesh dimensions mismatch	#1
romant Senior Member Roman Thiele Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: Eindhoven, NL Posts: 374 Rep Power: 20	Hej, I have a problem with the stl fileformat and the snappyHexMesh tool. The dimensions in the stl file format are as always given in mm, because all 3D cad programs (SolidEdge V20 in my case) export the original ISO dimensions. The problem now is that snappyHexMesh uses m as input, is there any way to define a scaling factor for snappyHexMesh?
