Is there a way to read stl file(3D model) to obtain the vertices and elements of all tetrahedrons using VBA ?

I am new to VBA. Are there any libraries ?

    AFAIK there is no library, because the STL file format is not complicated:

    As you see there are 2 formats: ASCII or binary, that's all.

    But what do you want to do with the numbers you read from the file? Write into cells? And then?

    If you need further help please upload your file on an online file hoster like www.dropbox.com and post the download link here.

    Andreas.
