Export stl script

HI guyand girls

I’am looking for something that can select all the 3dm file into a folder, and export each of them in stl…

I have found some answer or script on the forum, but I haven’t been able to make them work, or they wasn’t exactly doing what I was expecting.

I have try to combine a python script :

"""Exports one STL file per object selected, export folder is same as current
folder if file has been saved; otherwise, choice of file name/location.
Choice of a four "standard" settings for export, inch or metric.
Script by Mitch Heynick 04.09.15
Adapted for V6 24.08.18 (should work in both V5 and V6)"""

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
import scriptcontext as sc
import os

def GetSTLSettings(ang,ar,dist,grid,den,maxL=0,minL=.0001):
    #Changed in V6 - UseSimpleParameters response *inverted*
    e_str = "_ExportFileAs=_Binary "
    e_str+= "_ExportUnfinishedObjects=_Yes "
    e_str+= "_UseSimpleDialog=_No "
    e_str+= "_UseSimpleParameters=_{} ".format("Yes" if rs.ExeVersion()==6 else "No")
    e_str+= "_Enter _DetailedOptions "
    e_str+= "_JaggedSeams=_No "
    e_str+= "_PackTextures=_No "
    e_str+= "_Refine=_Yes "
    e_str+= "_SimplePlane=_Yes "
    e_str+= "_AdvancedOptions "
    e_str+= "_Angle={} ".format(ang)
    e_str+= "_AspectRatio={} ".format(ar)
    e_str+= "_Distance={} ".format(dist)
    e_str+= "_Density={} ".format(den)
    e_str+= "_Grid={} ".format(grid)
    e_str+= "_MaxEdgeLength={} ".format(maxL)
    e_str+= "_MinEdgeLength={} ".format(minL)
    e_str+= "_Enter _Enter"
    return e_str

    rs.EnableRedraw(True)

BatchExportSTLByObject()

with a “processor” that I did myself with rs command from lunchbox

but It wasn’t doing exactly what I want.

I want all the part from a 3dm file (brep/surface or whatever) to be exported in the same file.
and the file to be named the exact same name as the 3dm file they are coming from…

any one know an easy method ?

thanks !
