Tx Jr and BW for the links, I use exactly the average..
warning about colors in STL
They aren't true color
I use this code by STL (subset of colors)  to POV (truecolor)

r=STLface.descriptor AND 31744
r=r SHR 10
r=r*8
g=STLface.descriptor AND 992
g=g SHR 5
g=g*8
b=STLface.descriptor AND 31
b=b*8
POV_COLOR=b+(g*256)+(r*65536)

NOTE: this is my struct for STL's face

TYPE STL
 header    As String * 80
 numfacets As Long  '4 b then -> loop
 nx        As Single   '4 b
 ny        As Single
 nz        As Single
 x0        As Single
 y0        AS Single
 z0        As Single
 x1        As Single
 y1        As Single
 z1        As Single
 x2        As Single
 y2        As Single
 z2        As Single
 descriptor As Short '2 b <--- end loop
END TYPE
DIM STLface AS STL
