I have done my usual Google searching and documentation reading but I'm
having a little trouble. I have a stacked tiff file that a faculty member
has passed on to me. They are hoping to use this z-indexed stack to print a
3D object. I've installed the 3D viewer and can view it as a 3D object but
when I go to export as stl or other format I'm told there's no mesh to
export. I don't see any way to convert the stacked image sequence to an
appropriate mesh format. If anyone could point me in the right direction
I'd very grateful. Thanks.
