stlloader

Simple loader for STL 3D model files

This is a C++ header-only library. To use it, #include "stlloader.h" wherever you intend to use the library. You must #define STLLOADER_IMPLEMENTATION before including it in one of your files for the implementation to be defined for the linker.

Expand the implementation for the linker in one of your files:

#define STLLOADER_IMPLEMENTATION
#include "stlloader.h"

Otherwise, just include the header and call the functions:

#include "stlloader.h"
// ...
    stlloader::Mesh mesh;
    stlloader::parse_file(filename, mesh);
    stlloader::print(mesh);

Example: Iterating over facets and vertices

using namespace stlloader;

for(const Facet & facet : mesh.facets) {
    Normal & normal = facet.normal;           // x, y, z
    for(int vi = 0; vi < 3; ++vi) {
        Vertex & coord = facet.vertices[vi];  // x, y, z
        // ...
    }
}
