Dear Rapid Prototyping Community!
This message is to inform you that Shareware version of StlView NetScape
Plug-In version 1.0 is ready for downloading from:
ftp://ftp.cyberware.com/pub/stlview/npstl32.htm
Below is a brief description of functionality incorporated in StlView
NetScape Plug-In, but in a few words that Plug-In will open a new era
of transferring STL files through Inter/Intranets, as well as in
combination with NetScape Navigator it can be used as a chiep, simple
and usefull STL vizualization and conversion utility.
You don't have to run separate program (usually pretty expensive) to View,
Import Binary or ASCII STL files, 3D Studio (3DS) files or StlView SOL files
and Export them to Binary or ASCII STL, SOL, 3DS, DXF, IGES or VRML...
Unfortunatelly, all Rapid Prototyping publications around are advertising
software products of BigGuys (like SolidView, or MagicView; cause those guys
are probably paying for this, of course from your pocket)
Maybe it's time for you to look around and compare?...
So, please, try my products: in combination StlView v7.0 and StlView
NetScape Plug-In v1.0 can become the only instruments you need to view,
analyze, fix and work with STL files as well as place them into any documents
inside OLE2.0 compliant software like MS Word, MS Excel, Write, Cardfile
and etc(StlView v7.0) and inside HTML documents and Internet(StlView NetScape
Plug-In v1.0)...
If you like it, please, register...
Best Regards,
Igor Tebelev

Together StlView v7.0 and StlView NetScape
Plug-In v1.0 can become the only instruments you
need to view, analyze and work with STL files as
well as place them into any documents inside
OLE2.0 compliant software like MS Word, MS
Excel, Write, Cardfile and etc(StlView v7.0) and
inside HTML documents and Internet(StlView
NetScape Plug-In v1.0)...But, even if you've
decided not to use StlView v7.0, you can still
get advantages of StlView Plug-In, simply try
it...
System StlView NetScape Plug-In v1.0 is a 32bit program
Requirements and will only work with NetScape Browser 32bit
edition only under Windows95 or WindowsNT. It
has been tested to work fine with NetScape
Navigator v2 and v3 (both 32bit).
Step-by-Step After, you've downloaded file NPSTL32.ZIP use
Installation PKUNZIP utility to extract NPSTL32.DLL and
Instructions manually copy it into PLUG-IN directory of your
NetScape Browser(usually NETSCAPE\PLUGINS\ or
NETSCAPE\PROGRAM\PLUGINS). That's it, except you
have to reload your NetScape Browser and now you
are ready to activate StlView NetScape Plug-In.
To test StlView NetScape Plug-In goto File/Open
menu of NetScape and open existing STL or 3DS
file located on your system. Working?... Press,
right Mouse button while cursor is inside View
window, select desired functions from the PopUp
menu... Ok, local file is working. But what if
you want to investigate remote STL or 3DS file?
No problems! Enter
"ftp://fantasia.eng.clemson.edu/SLA/Chabot.stl"
or any other in Location filed of NetScape and
wait... Working? Ok, but what if you want to
place STL, SOL or 3DS file onto HTML page? Very
simple - use the following samples:
<embed name=stl SRC="linkrods.stl" WIDTH=200
HEIGHT=200>
<embed name=sol SRC="linkrods.sol" WIDTH=100
HEIGHT=150>
<embed name=3ds SRC="duck.3ds" WIDTH=300
HEIGHT=400>
<a href="ftp://fantasia.eng.clemson.edu/SLA/Chabot.stl>
"Test of Chabot"
In the above examples:
-first one, will place STL file with the
name linkrods.stl in the window with the
width=200 and height=200;
-second one, will place StlView SOL file
with the name linkrods.sol in the window
with the width=100 and height=150;
-third one, will place 3DS file with the
name duck.3ds in the window with the
width=300 and height=400;
-fourth one, will direct the user to
ftp://fantasia.eng.clemson.edu/SLA/Chabot.stl
if he presses "Test of Chabot" and open that
file in a full window mode
If you are a WebMaster planing to embed STL,
SOL or 3DS file into HTML documents, please,
copy this page as well as NPSTL32.ZIP to
your location and use the similar syntax
while embedding above objects:
<embed name=stl SRC="linkrods.stl"
PLUGINSPAGE="LOCATION" WIDTH=50 HEIGHT=50>
Where, tag PLUGINSPAGE="LOCATION" must
point to the location of this page on
your server (replace "LOCATION" by real
location of the page). Above syntax will
allow users who don't have installed STL
viewer on their systems to download one.
