Introduction
================================================================================
in case you are looking for it, the old and not as good ASCII-Only version is here:
This script will only import STL files whether in Binary or in ASCII/text format
the script generates a spherical UV map for the object

The code for fixing the spherical UV issues is derived from code by

The code to convert 4 bytes in IEEE floating point number is derived from code by

Installation
================================================================================
The zip package is found at the bottom of this page
unzip it in your daz content folder,
typically :
C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Library
once installed, it will appear in your content library, under
The Daz Script will be found in My Library / Scripts / mcasual
Starting with Windows 7 if you right click on the downloaded zip file
and select the [Extract All ....] pop-up menu item
you simply browse up to your Daz Studio Content Folder
and the files will fall in the proper folder

================================================================================
Use
================================================================================
Click the DoIt button
select the STL file ( .stl )
the script will produce an .obj file in the same folder as the STL
so you must make sure the .stl file is not in a write-protected folder
The script generates a spherical UV map and looks OK if the object is centered at 0,0,0
the sofa object was downloaded from
https://www.thingiverse.com/
Scale - a scale of 100 is good for STL objects from Blender
Offset - here you see the result of specifying an offset (y) for the center of projection of the spherical UV map
iThe idea is, if the object stands on the floor ( y = 0 ) and the center of projection is 0,0,0 then you get a dome-projection UV map and if there's a floor at y=0, it's UV mapping will be unusable, so you would move the center above the floor.
