stl2gts: Convert an STL file to a GTS file and revert face normals.
$ stl2gts --revert < ${filename-stl} > ${filename-gts}
try on your machine
This command is using the "stl2gts" tool to convert an STL file to a GTS file, with a reversal of normals.
Here is a breakdown of each part of the command:
- "stl2gts": This is the name of the tool or program being executed.
- "--revert": This is an option or flag provided to the tool, indicating that the normals of the 3D model should be reversed when converting from STL to GTS format. Reversing the normals can change the orientation of the model's surfaces.
- "< ${filename-stl}": This is input redirection, instructing the tool to take the contents of the file named "filename-stl" as input to the tool. The "${filename-stl}" is a placeholder for the actual filename of the STL file being converted.
- "> ${filename-gts}": This is output redirection, instructing the tool to write the converted GTS file to a file named "filename-gts". The "${filename-gts}" is a placeholder for the desired name of the resulting GTS file.
Overall, this command takes an STL file, reverses the normals, and converts it to a GTS file with the specified filename.
