Known Limitations

There are two limitations with respect to merging of models imported from STL. The default for merging is controlled by the configuration parameter 3d-printing:*3dp-merge-enabled*. To improve import quality and success rate, the default has been set to off (NIL) for now.

It is recommended to perform merging interactively on an as-needed basis using the dialog MERGE_3D.

Scalability Issues with Merging

Merge scans all vertices in the model created from STL data using a native (C++) function which causes a Stack overflow with large amounts of vertices. Following options to fix this issues are available:
