Hello all,

I've recently purchased (as in, about 5 minutes ago) the models for a 3D printer object that I want to modify. Thing is, it only came with .stl files and whenever I try to import them into AC3D, all I get is a single point. No mesh.

Anyone know if there is a better .stl importer available for AC3D before I go hunting down some kind of stand-alone converter program?

.stl is a fairly standard 3D printing file format, so I'm naturally somewhat concerned over how well I'll be able to export to it if the imports don't work.
