STL Viewer

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Only one but: but it would be nice if Settings, Rendering Options and Lightning Option would be explained

   … but needs some config. 1. Enable .stl file upload (or any other file type or file-extension) You have to disable FILTER upload before be able to upload an .STL file. Just add // -- allow all files to be uploaded define('ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS', true); somewhere in your config.php file. 2. Refer your .STL files correctly Then make sure you refer your .STL files correctly! If your domain is: http://www.yourdomain.com Your uploads will go to maybe: http://www.yourdomain.com/uploads/2015/10/myfile.stl So refer the stl file as: /2015/10/myfile.stl because http://www.yourdomain.com/uploads/ is added by the plugin itself. 3. Example: Insert code is not documented within the plugin, which is a shame. So here it is: [stl file="/2015/10/3dprinted-wrench.stl" /] Hope that helps. 4. Setup Background I was not able to set the background, which seems to be just a black color by default. There is a way within the plugin to setup a tile (image) but it did not work correctly. (Just a small stripe is shown.) I did try: [stl file="myfile.stl" background="#f8f8f8" /] but does not seems to work for me. Question If someone knows how to setup Background color (mono, fix), or tile image, please let me know! This topic was modified 4 years, 4 months ago by AAA.

   This was very easy to setup. I had an issue with the STL-Viewer plugin settings not working, so I simply passed all the setting parameters within the shortcode. Then I published my page and now everything looks terrific. I am really impressed with how good the renderings are and how quickly the files load. Still slow for the larger STL files, but the plugin caches the files. Shortcode Example: [stl file=”Army_Dude.stl” color=”#ff0000″ background=”#f8f8f8″ width=”100%” height=”640px” /]

   Great plugin, works amazing Tip- after activation make sure go to the plugin settings and fill the boxes else it won’t display a thing. Suggestion – and i would love to see these in settings – if we can change the default file location – remove the grid – auto rotate for all the objects by default – select the axis for all the object as by defualt ( and a command if any object need to be on diffrent axis ) 🙂
