Display * .stl file correctly using RTB

[Dps8]

I'm doing the 3D design of a cylindrical robotic arm and I want to import the CAD to Matlab to work with plot3d. What requirements should the * .stl files have to be able to visualize the arm in Matlab?
How can I do it?

[petercorke]

Their coordinate system should be the link coordinate frame as determined by the Denavit-Hartenberg model of the robot. They should be named linkN.stl where N is 0, 1, 2, etc. Let me know how it goes.

In what scale does RTB work the dimensions of the robotic arm?The problem is that when I load a link and plot it does not show up well. Is it a problem of scale or is it some DH parameter that I declared wrong?

[petercorke]

The scale/dimensions of the STL model must be consistent with the lengths in the DH parameters. ie. if the DH parameters d, a are in metres, then the STL should be in metres.

If I declared the limits of the prismatic articulation, why do I have to declare the limits of the workspace?

[petercorke]

that’s a bug

Professor, do you know what could be the cause of this error?
