ADMeshGUI

STL viewer and manipulation tool.

Manipulation and repair algorithms come from ADMesh library and stlsplit library is used for splitting. ADMeshGUI is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3. Whole text of the license comes in LICENSE file which is included in this package.

Building

In order to run ADMeshGUI, ADMesh library, stlsplit library, Qt 5.4 (or higher) with qmake, OpenGL and g++ are necessary.

On Linux, unzip downloaded package, navigate to target directory and type following into terminal:

qmake # or qmake-qt5 on some distros
make
sudo make install

On Mac OS X use homebrew. You can install ADMeshGUI directly from our homebrew tap by typing following into terminal:

brew tap admesh/admesh
brew install admeshgui --HEAD
brew linkapps admeshgui

or if you prefer to build it manually, type following into terminal (installs all required dependencies):

brew tap admesh/admesh
brew install gettext qt5 admesh stlsplit
/usr/local/opt/qt5/bin/qmake 
make	

On Windows download admeshgui-win.zip containing precompiled application.

If you intend to build ADMeshGUI on Windows by yourself, the process is not that straightforward though. You must make sure Qt5 and all other dependendencies (admesh, stlsplit, gettext) are properly installed and paths set, so it is possible to link them. Then run qmake and make in terminal.

It is also possible to build ADMeshGUI in Qt Creator which comes with Qt package.

Running ADMeshGUI from command line tool

admeshgui file_1.stl file_2.stl file_3.stl ... file_n.stl

Files given as parameters will be opened in ADMeshGUI.
