Import STL as 3D

When the task is run, it will attempt to import the contents of the STL file at the specified target path with the specified scaling, and export this as a DriveWorks 3D file to the specified target file path.

By default, DriveWorks will attempt to use the imported STL file name, to label the geometry name of the Drive3D file.
