add support to export the bst surfaces as STL files.

hi guys,

it seems STL is one of the most used and common format for the surfaces meshes.

currently, BST has these format:

This issue is just to remind the need to add the STL file format to the export function.

Yes we can. That should be pretty doable very similar to the obj reader here in the PR https://github.com/brainstorm-tools/brainstorm3/pull/716/commits/0d656e90b715e0ec0f80332dc6554380d9365236

STL and PLY are both very widely used formats after OBJ.

As a temporary workaround until Brainstorm can export directly STL file; it is possible to use freesurfer to convert gii file to STL using mris_convert

To create .stl files from Brainstorm surfaces, I export them as either .off or .obj, then use MeshLab.
