2. In the Look in field, display the appropriate folder.
3. In the Files of type field, select the file types to display (stl, slc, objdf).
4. Select the desired file, and make sure that it appears in the File name
field.
If the Preview check box is selected, the object is displayed in the dialog
box, as shown in figure 5 9.
Note: You can open several stl files at once, to place several models on the
build tray. If you select multiple stl files that make up an assembly,
you can select all or some of the parts. To print the entire model,
select all of an assembly’s component stl files, and select the
Assembly check box. This positions the parts as a complete,
integrated model instead of as independent parts. The effects of
selecting the Assembly check box—in both the model tree and the
build tray display—are shown in the following figures.
