I use an online STL -> points convertor which creates an array, loading
this into the editor results in a VERY slow editor. I use this tool..
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4461877, which returns an OpenSCAD
file with a render object called module1.
I make absolutely no attempt to edit the points - what I do is create a
second program which "uses" the points array file, renders the object,
then I use normal code to add/remove anything I don't need that has come
from the original conversion process.
e.g.
use <FromSTL.scad>
translate ([-1.3,-7.8,0]) object1(1);// position the rendered
object at X,Y,Z = 0;
Its never terribly quick, but I am using a somewhat aged i5 laptop with
only 12GB of physical ram.
