Re: open stl files
Welcome aboard Bengt. There are many subtle variations in some 3D file types. check your Scanner program for output settings and try changing some of those (write down the original settings before you do ;-})

Re: open stl files
Also if you can, upload one of the models that are giving you trouble so we can try opening it and see if we can figure anything out.
When you post, just scroll down a bit and click the button that says Manage Attachments. It won't let you attach a .stl directly, so zip it up and then attach it.
