- saveMesh
  
  public void saveMesh(TriangleMesh mesh, OutputStream stream)
  
  Exports the given mesh to the specified OutputStream, including required header information. The mesh data itself is stored in binary. The output stream itself will be wrapped in a buffered version (128KB) in order to improve write performance.
  
  Parameters:
  
  mesh - mesh instance to export
  
  stream - valid output stream
- saveMesh
  
  public void saveMesh(TriangleMesh mesh, String path)
  
  Exports the given mesh to the specified file path, including required header information. The mesh data itself is stored in binary.
  
  Parameters:
  
  mesh - mesh instance to export
  
  path - file path
- writeNormals
  
  public boolean writeNormals()
  
  Returns:
  
  true, if normal export is enabled.
- writeNormals
  
  public void writeNormals(boolean doWriteNormals)
  
  Setter enable export of vertex normals (false by default).
  
  Parameters:
  
  doWriteNormals - true to enable
