Paraview not seeing STL files
 

Hi All!

I made an .STL file and am trying to open it with Paraview. When I toggle "open" on the Paraview drop-down menu, I don't see the file (but it is there).

However, when I look for a different .stl file (one downloaded from an OpenFOAM tutorial) I can open it.

When looking at the properties of each, I notice two things: the .stl file I built is all caps STL rather than stl. The other difference is mine has 100,000 bytes where the one from the tutorial has 337 bytes. Would these differences mean paraview is unable to even see the file through its open menu?

just rename your file to .stl instead of .STL

Did this an hour after I posted but forgot to update...thanks! :o
