Summary


Details

There was "Normal Display" option in [File > Export > STL] in NX9.
But this option is not there in  [STL Export] in NX 11 and onwards.
Why this option is not there in NX11 and onwards?

Solution

The "Normal Display" only made sense for sheet body translation. We used to internally try to handle the sheet bodies but it was very inconsistent.
We now recommend that the user sew sheet before exporting. If they do not sew we export the sheet bodies individually.

In NX 11.0.0 the "Normal Display" is displayed in [STL Export] dialog.
In NX11.0.1 and NX11.0.2 this option is displayed with following setting.
 In [STL Export] dialog  
 "Object to Export"
   Select Object: Sheet Body
  "Sheet Body Options"
   Attempt to join Sheet Bodies: ON

The "Normal Display" option is not displayed from NX12 and onwards because we removed the sheet body processing because it is better for the user to sew.
