All my layers deleted after exporting

atyates27

A friend of mine who uses another software asked for my design to play around with it, and he wanted as an STL file. So I exported the design and I was able to send it to him, and when he opened it it was missing many of the layers ( A separate issue). I told him I’d export it again and when I went to open the file all my layers were gone, I have lost my entire project and just heart broken. I was going to import the STL file back into forger to see if I could recover it but I guess importing STL files isn’t an option. I’m just so upset and frustrated that my project was just wiped out.

atyates27 I must be missing something, the STL format does not support layers.

Did you flatten the layer stack by any chance?

I can internally import STL files although this import isn't public yet, please get in contact through the support form on the website and I can get you the STL file in a forger scene.

Please note that STL files are triangulated so it's certainly not the best format for sculpting (which is why importing those files isn't an option) but it has been requested and I may add it soon 🙂
