Import and plot stl file in AppDesigner

How do I import and plot a STL file? I tried importing a function I already had but it wasn't successful maybe because I didn't get enough info on how to. So i tried another path but to no avail.

If you are using stlread to load the stl file, I suggest using one of the corresponding plot functions (trimesh, triplot, or trisurf).

See the Displaying Graphics in App Designer for more details on how different plotting functions are handled. For example

Specify Axes as Name-Value Argument

Some graphics functions require the target axes object to be specified as a name-value argument. For example, when you call the imshow and triplot functions, specify the axes object to display on using the 'Parent' name-value argument. This code displays an image on an existing set of axes on your canvas:

ax = axes;
data = stlread('BracketWithHole.stl');
trimesh(data,'Parent',ax,'EdgeColor','k')
