New page

Various mesh types are supported already in Flowcode 6 with more mesh types planned for the future.

A supported mesh file can simply be dragged onto the [[System_Panel|system panel]] or [[Dashboard_Panel|dashboard panel]] and this will generate a .mesh resource file containing the object in a format that Flowcode can work with.

==Currently Supported Mesh Types==

The mesh type sthat are currently supported in Flowcode v6 are:

*ASCII STL File *.STL
*Binary STL *.STL
*Object File *.OBJ

==SketchUp==

There is a blog post available which details how to add meshes from SketchUp.
