Data Flow Sample

The sample demonstrates importing and exporting models in supported formats

Data Flow also demonstrates usage of DG Kernel as a background geometric data processing engine inside a class library, which does not have any Graphic User Interface

The application can also be used for splitting geometrically isolated objects in a STL file into separate STL files.

Also demonstrates general mesh operation of separating disjoined objects, which often happens during load of an stl file or after a Boolean union or subtract operation

Running the application

Open and Save File menu options have additional filters, which allows save and load in different formats. 

"Import Objects" file menu option demonstrates how additional objects from another file in any supported formats can be added to the current model.

STL Directory submenu allows saving ad loading models as sets of structured STL files. See STL Directory Tree. When "STL Directory">Options>"Build tree" menu option is checked the chosen directory for Save or Load operations is considered as an STL Directory Tree otherwise objects are saved to or loaded from a single directory as separate solids.

STL Directory > Options menu command is used to demonstrate programming different save / load options for STL formal

File > Convert menu option opens a format conversion dialogue, which can be used to convert between supported formats, including mass-conversion of folders

Tools Menu demonstrates general mesh operation of separating disjoined objects, which often happens during load of a stl file
