Topic: Preview STLs feature

Hello all,

You can now preview attached stls before downloading them, simply hit the "3D Preview" button beside the stl filename.

See this thread for a sample stl: http://www.soliforum.com/topic/22/mini-solidoodle/

It works best in Chrome and Firefox, Safari works but the model doesn't look very nice, and if you use IE you're on your own tongue

Re: Preview STLs feature

genius idea ! but it's a little difficult to see the object in only one color... the wireframe is better... we need more color for the rending

I think its totally sweet man! even Thingiverse doesn't have this feature.

ysb, you can always download the file to change all the details... I think its best to keep it simple yet elegant for faster load times.

Re: Preview STLs feature

thingiverse DOES have this feature...

click on the lower right area of any of the preview images... there is a little isometric overlay icon that's hard to see, that is actually a feature.
