Discover how to use Modelist's built-in STL preview feature to examine your models before printing. This tutorial will show you how to get the most out of this powerful feature.
Introduction to STL Preview
One of Modelist's most powerful features is its ability to preview 3D models directly within the application. This eliminates the need to open separate software just to see what a model looks like, saving you time and streamlining your workflow.
Basic Preview Controls
When you select an STL or 3MF file in Modelist, the preview pane automatically displays a 3D rendering of your model. Here's how to navigate the preview:
- Rotate: Click and drag to rotate the model in 3D space
- Zoom: Use the mouse wheel or pinch gesture on trackpads
- Pan: Hold Shift while clicking and dragging
- Reset View: Double-click in the preview area
