I have desktop 11 and use V3D from Design and make. I just got some .STL files and am not sure if I can use them, and if I can how do I use them?

It's the documentation for v9 but it shouldn't have changed much for v11: https://docs.vectric.com/docs/V9.0/VCar ... mport.html

Be aware that VCarve can only input one STL file per project. If you have multiples to import into one project they'll need to be composited in another app and the composite STL file imported in VCarve.

Have a look through the tutorials, there is one that covers 3D imports, it is entitled "Importing and Exporting 3D Data" :lol: :lol:
