Using using STL files for anything other than export can cause problems. I use DesignCad Mechanical (free from RS Components) and always save my work in the default format, exporting to STL only before slicing. I've never found a reliable way of importing an STL file and modifying it.

notes on acronymic netiquetteThis thread reminds me of when, while driving around with the kids, we used to play I-Spy. After a short while basic clues got too easy so we graduated to things like "PIFATSOTR". This, obviously, is for "pylon in field at the side of the road".

Why is it when you're trying to quit smoking...Take up jogging. At 27 years old I found out I couldn't run a mile. So I made a plan to stop on the 2nd Sunday in January (after Xmas & New Year excesses over). Told everyone I met of plan. DID IT!!! Within 3 months was running 8 miles and enjoying it. Only downside was re-educating my palate to enjoy malt whisky. Never smoked again and 40 years later I'm fatter & lazier, but still here. It's worth the effort.
