<div>I am new to VTK, and trying to conver a OBJ file to a STL file. I tried the following code section, but it didn't work. It did created a STL file, but with nothing inside, only 1KB. Any help and direction would be appreciated. </div>

<div>Thanks.</div>

<div> vtkSmartPointer<vtkSTLWriter> stlWriter = vtkSmartPointer<vtkSTLWriter>::New();<br> stlWriter->SetFileName("Bobcat.stl");<br> stlWriter->SetInputConnection(readerOBJ->GetOutputPort());<br>
