SketchUp groups and STL solid naming convention:
Geometry Preparation
• If submitting geometry using STL file format:
• Use meter units;• Ensure that parts are correctly splitted and that the
solid are named correctly (ie as per the previous slide);
• If submitting geometry using the SketchUp file format:
• Ensure that group and components are named correctly.
