Hello!

I have an .stl file of a 2D surface, and would like to color it by coordinates, specifically by the value of the y-coordinate.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Jack.

Hi Jack,

You can simply use a "Calculator" filter to extract different data types for visualisation.

Normally you can just apply a calculator filter to your STL and write an expression similar to "coordsY".

Good luck with your project!
