Question

Export All bodies in a part or all parts in an assembly as separate STL files

If I have a multi-bodied part I need to first create several part files then individually export each as an STL to save parts for printing. It would be nice if I could easily export without creating several extra parts that I don't otherwise need. It would also be good to do this from an assembly.

You do not have to create any extra parts to deal with this scenario for multibody parts.

For assemblies there is a config option that can enable export filtering.

config option intf_out_blanked_entities no

 

With this set to 'no' only the items that are visible on the screen will be exported.

 

intf_out_blanked_entities

Controls the export of blanked layers. Filters export of entities based on their blank status.
yes - Exports entities on blanked layers.
no - Does not export entities on blanked layers. The entities on blanked layers are ignored.
