Import stl files with Openscad on mac

Import stl files with Openscad on mac
Hello,
how can I import STL files with a Mac?

import(“User:/my name/Desktop/miocubo.stl”);
WARNING: Can’t open import file ‘”User:/my name/Desktop/miocubo.stl”‘.

Con surface(“User:/may name/Desktop/miocubo.stl”);
WARNING: Can’t open DAT file
‘/Users/paolopuggioni/Desktop/mioimport/User:/my name/Desktop/miocubo.stl’.
WARNING: PolySet has degenerate polygons

Thank you

I inserted the search into openscad, but it gave me error

import ( "/ Users / paolopuggioni / Desktop / miocubo.stl");

ERROR: Parser error in line 3: syntax error
ERROR: Compilation failed!

What should I write more to have three lines?

If you’re unsure about the syntax of how to load a specific STL file into OpenSCAD, drag and drop the STL file onto the OpenSCAD program.
OpenSCAD will create a new window whose sole content is the STL import statement. You can then copy and paste that line into your own program.
e.g.:

import("/Users/me/Downloads/epoxy_spatula.stl”);

Looking at some of the samples you’ve provided I would note that
1) There should be no colon “:” after “User”
        import(“User:/my name/Desktop/miocubo.stl”);
        should be:
        import(“User/myname/Desktop/miocubo.stl”);

2)It looks like you’re adding spaces in the path, where there should be none
        import ( "/ Users / paolopuggioni / Desktop / miocubo.stl”);
        should be:
        import ( "/Users/paolopuggioni/Desktop/miocubo.stl");

If it was really useful, I never thought it would be enough to transport the
file in openscad.

Thanks so much

Ok, the problem of importing files is solved, but it is not possible to see
the script of the file?
Or is it possible how is it done?

STL files are NOT scripts... they are static objects... so you can’t revise them directly
