	Convert and write shape to STL format. File is written in binary if aAsciiMode is False otherwise it is written in Ascii (by default).
static Standard_Boolean	Read (TopoDS_Shape &theShape, const Standard_CString aFile)
	Legacy interface. Read STL file and create a shape composed of triangular faces, one per facet. This approach is very inefficient, especially for large files. Consider reading STL file to Poly_Triangulation object instead (see class RWStl).
