assimp: Convert a file using custom parameters (the dox_cmd.h file in assimp's source code lists available parameters).

assimp

$ assimp export ${input_file-stl} ${output_file-obj} ${parameters}

The command is using the Assimp library to export a 3D model file from one format (STL) to another format (OBJ) with some optional parameters.

Here is a breakdown of each component of the command:

assimp: This is the name or path of the command or executable file. It invokes the Assimp library for 3D model processing.
export: This is the specific action or operation to be performed by Assimp, which is exporting a 3D model file.
${input_file-stl}: This is the input file name or path. In this case, it is specified as ${input_file-stl} which suggests that the actual file name or path is expected to be passed as an argument to the command. The -stl part indicates that the file format is STL.
${output_file-obj}: This defines the name or path of the output file. Similar to the input file, it expects the file name or path to be provided as an argument to the command. The -obj indicates that the output file format should be OBJ.
${parameters}: This represents optional parameters that can be passed to the command for specifying additional settings or customization during the export process. The specific parameters that can be used depend on the capabilities and options provided by the Assimp library for exporting files.

To use this command, you would typically replace ${input_file-stl} with the actual path or name of the STL file you want to convert, ${output_file-obj} with the desired name or path for the output OBJ file, and potentially include any necessary parameters based on the capabilities of the Assimp library.
