Limitations on .stl file importing I have .stl data files that I'm trying to import into Blender. Large, over 100MB. I'm having trouble importing them, and I'm wondering if the size might be the reason. They all return the following error lines upon attempting import:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\...\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.57\scripts\addons\io_mesh_stl\__init__.py", line 86, in execute
    paths = [os.path.join(self.directory, name.name) for name in self.files]
  File "C:\...\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.57\scripts\addons\io_mesh_stl\__init__.py", line 86, in &lt;listcomp&gt;

It sounds like your having some sort of corruption with your binary (source). Change the settings of your import or reexporting the model should fix it.
