Description
The Mesh Import command imports geometry from a mesh file format into the active document. Several file formats are supported. The command creates a non-parametric mesh object, a Mesh Feature, to hold the mesh data.
Usage
- There are several ways to invoke the command:
- Press the
Mesh Import button. - Select the Meshes → Import mesh... option from the menu.
- Select the Import mesh... option from the Tree view context menu or 3D view context menu. This option is only available if an existing mesh object has been selected. Note that the selected object is actually not used or modified by the command.
- Press the
- Optionally select the correct file format in the dialog box.
- Select a file.
- Press the Open button.

See also: FreeCAD Scripting Basics.
To import a mesh file use the insert method of the Mesh module.
import Mesh
Mesh.insert(u'D:/testfiles/cylinder.stl')
