I have a figure with multiple spheres. I have the locations of the centers of the spheres and I plot the Matlab figure by the following code:
[xx yy zz]=sphere;
for np=1:N
surf(D(np)*xx/2+x(np),D(np)*yy/2+y(np),D(np)*zz/2+z(np),ones(size(zz)));
hold on
end
Where D is the diameter of that particular sphere, (x,y,z) is the center of that particular sphere, and (xx,yy,zz) is used to make the surface of each sphere. It would be awesome if I could somehow save the resulting figure to a CAD file like stl or something similar. I have seen some really good files on the File Exchange, however all that I have seen only take one surface matrix as the input. Thank you for your help!

Hi Richard
Were you able to figure it out?

Sorry, but no I wasn’t able to end up making it work.
