%%%When exporting a stl file the normal direction is not included. This is a known issue the author knows about, but he asked for someone to submit a bug report if anyone needs this functionality. This would help me out a lot. Thanks.%%%

This will calculate face normals when the STL file gets written.

OK. I made the normal export optional. I also tested it and seams to work fine.
