Import to Layers

The Import to Layers tool is a powerful addition to RhinoArtisan's Manufacturing section, designed to streamline the organization of STL files for efficient workflow management, such as preparing a print tray for 3D printing or verifying the state of STL files.

Features:

1. Batch Import STL Files:

   • Automatically imports all STL files contained within a selected folder.

2. Layer Assignment:

   • Each imported STL file is assigned to a separate layer, ensuring clear organization and easy identification of individual elements.

   • Each new layer is named after the corresponding STL file that was imported.

3. Color Differentiation:

   • Each layer is automatically assigned a unique color, making it simple to visually distinguish between the various elements in the design.

Advantages:

• Enhanced Organization: Quickly sort and manage multiple STL files without manual intervention, saving valuable time during the design and manufacturing process.

• Improved Visualization: Differentiating elements by color provides a clear overview of the design layout, aiding in error detection and effective planning.

• Optimized Workflow: By organizing elements on separate layers, users can easily prepare models for specific tasks such as 3D printing, reducing the likelihood of misalignment or mismanagement.

This tool is ideal for goldsmiths, designers, and professionals seeking a more efficient way to handle multiple STL files within a single project. The Import to Layers tool ensures clarity and precision, paving the way for seamless manufacturing preparation.
