Oh, and X3D. Same story. No more "Sphere", "Cylinder", or "Cone"
I can't remember if I took out fonts and circle highlights from X3D, but
they are out of STL. That is just a convenience, of course - you can make
sure yourself that you have no labels or selection halos.
I still have a bit of work to do to make sure that objects are closed or
"almost closed" and do not have 0 width. For example, DNA basepair planes
in cartoons need to be "plates" with nonzero width, not 0-width planes.
Haven't gotten to that yet. Seeing it as a bug right now -- no problem with
rendering in VRML or X3D, but can't be printed.
Jmol does not do the final step that 3D printers need -- adjustment to make
sure all objects are closed. I'm pretty sure people familiar with 3D
printing know this to be a general issue, not specific to Jmol.
