A 75 MB / 1.5-million-triangle STL that used to take ages now shows in **under a second**. +* STL is now parsed directly instead of going through the CAD kernel's importer, which used to build a full B-rep face per triangle (100k triangles: **~41 s → ~11 ms**). Both binary and ASCII STL are detected and read automatically. + +**Customizable menu bar & quick toolbar** +* A full menu bar groups every feature into categorized dropdowns, and a quick toolbar lets you tick just the buttons you use most — your selection is remembered between sessions. + +**About dialog with a changelog** +* Help → About now shows a per-version, plain-language changelog so you can see what each release brought. + +## 🐛 Bug fixes + +**STL geometry no longer leaks into STEP export** +* STL is pure mesh (no B-rep), so STL parts are now correctly excluded from STEP export — earlier versions wrongly mixed STL shells into the exported STEP. Rigid transforms and measurement on STL parts are unaffected. + +## 📦 Downloads + +| Build | Needs .NET Runtime? | Notes | +|---|---|---| +| **STPViewer_v0.7.1** (Standard) | ✅ Requires .NET 8 Desktop Runtime | Smaller download | +| **STPViewer_v0.7.1_portable** (Portable) | ❌ Runtime included | Unzip and run anywhere, no admin | + +Run `STPViewer v0.7.1.exe`. + +## 🔗 Links + +* [Architecture](https://github.com/ETWen/STPViewer/blob/main/ARCHITECTURE.md) +* [README](https://github.com/ETWen/STPViewer/blob/main/README.md) + +**Full changelog:** [v0.6.0...v0.7.1](https://github.com/ETWen/STPViewer/compare/v0.6.0...v0.7.1)
