This property does not simply change the unit, it rescales the STL geometry according to the new unit. Changing from Meters to Centimeters resizes the model accordingly. Suppressed: Suppress/Unsuppress the object.
Display	Show Always: Options include No (default) and Yes. If you set this property to Yes, the application displays the STL geometry in the Geometry window regardless of what object is selected in the tree.
