STL file import to MATLAB

I was trying to import stl file to Matlab 2020b, and found this cmd as below

figure

gm = importGeometry('Torus.stl');

pdegplot(gm)

From this, i am getting error for importGeometry as it is not valid function/variable.

It is not able to find the importGeomtry function.. How do you fix this??

You don't have PDE toolbox.

If all you need is to import the STL data, you don't need those tools.

stlread

stlwrite
