How can I specify the unit system in my STL file to correctly import it through importGeometry?

18 views (last 30 days)
Hello,
I hope the title says it all. I would like to always keep working under SI units, but my CAD software exports STLs files as [mm]. I want to, without changing my CAD files or adding new settings to my CAD software, be able to "say" to MATLAB that the files I'm importing are in [mm], [cm], or whatever other base I want to, so proper conversion can take place. I haven't found anything that could help searching the web, however.

In case someone else was also looking for the answer to this:
scale(model.Geometry,1e-3)
