Hello all, i want to import STL or CAD file that i created using fusion360.
eventually I want to 3D plot on a figure the object and make it rotate according to euler angles or quaternions
I couldnt find example or answer in the form that i could implement and that work.
I'll be greatful for any help :)

Hi,
As per my understanding you aretrying to import a STL/CAD file in MATLAB and make the 3D model rotate as per Euler angles/quaternions.
To import a STL file in MATLAB you can make use of the importGeometry(geometryfile) function. The importGeometry function helps to import geometry from STL/STEP file. You can also refer to the below documentation to learn more about how to STL File Import.
Next to rotate a 3D figure you can make use of the rotate(g,theta) function. The rotate function rotates the geometry g about the z axis by an angle theta. Similarly, you can use the quatrotate(q,r) function to rotate a initial vector r by a quaternion q.
The below code snippet shows how to import a STL file in MATLAB and rotate it by an angle of 45 degrees using the rotate function.
figure
gm = importGeometry("Torus.stl");
pdegplot(gm)
rotate(gm , 45);
figure
pdegplot(gm)
For more details you can refer to the below MATLAB documentation on importGeometry and rotate function:
