Summary0011922: STL file reading only reads first solid
DescriptionAttached a simple stl file with a dummy first solid. When reading this reports 7 points, 0 cells. If I remove the dummy first solid it reads fine (8 points, 12 cells).

I don't know what you want the stl reader to do. My preference (high to low):
- read all solids. Have 'solid' field I can colour triangles with.
- read all solids but bung them into one bunch. If I want to select on different solids I can always write a simple utility to split them.
- fix current behaviour (i.e. stop reading after first endsolid)

Regards,

Mattijs

Just noticed: the problem is not the multiple solids - this works ok. It seems that it does not handle zero-sized solids.
