Hi Bob et al,
We had already used JSmol to export transition state structures for a range of
organic reactions and then used Blender to produce printable .stl and .x3d
files.

I hope these changes make it easier for everyone to use JSMol for an even
larger range of structures. In our experience you need a good quality printer
to produce typical molecular structures. We used
Shapeways.com<http://Shapeways.com> for the pictured structures.
Best regards
Nick

Jmol.___JmolVersion="14.6.4_2016.10.02"
new feature: 3D printer-compatible VRML and STL writing.
-- mesh only; does not use high-level objects Cone, Cylinder, Sphere
-- extensive use of DEF and USE for small-footprint VMRL files
-- STL is binary generally, but will be ASCII using SET DEBUG TRUE
-- write t.wrl
-- write t.stl
Checked in but not released. Hope to get this released in the next day or
two. Still needs testing. There is a lot of variation among the software
packages that work with VRML and STL. I have yet to find one that loads
everything correctly.
