Michael from Teaching Tech made a video guide about the installation. He was so kind to allow me to embed it here! Thumbnail installation starts at 1:49.
Thumbnail generation is based on the fastest STL viewer available. Folders full of STL files are no problem, and most STL thumbnails are generated as fast as those of JPG photos.

For automation and easy deployment, the color settings are loaded from the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Papa’s Best. Create values according to the following table. If a value is missing, its default is assumed.
| Name | Type | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| DefaultBackgroundColor | DWORD | 0x00000000 |
Background color for thumbnails. Format is 0xRRGGBBAA. |
| DefaultObjectColor | DWORD | 0xffffffff |
Object color for files without built-in color information. Format is 0xRRGGBBAA. Transparency is not supported. |
| InitialEyeYawDegrees | DWORD | 28 |
Horizontal rotation of the viewer, in degrees. Positive rotates right. |
| InitialEyePitchDegrees | DWORD | 331 |
Vertical rotation of the viewer, in degrees. Positive rotates down. |
Papa’s Best STL Thumbnails installs for the current user by default. To install for all users on a system, open a command prompt or a PowerShell and run msiexec /i "Papas Best STL Thumbnails.msi" MSIINSTALLPERUSER="".
CIRIA Report 108 provides a comprehensive guide on concrete pressure on formwork, highlighting the key factors influencing pressure and recommending best practices for design and construction. By understanding and applying the principles outlined in this report, engineers and contractors can ensure the safe and efficient construction of concrete structures.
P = (ρ × g × h) × (1 + (α × V))
A case study was conducted on a recent high-rise building project in London. The project involved pouring a large concrete slab using a climbing formwork system. The CIRIA Report 108 method was used to estimate the concrete pressure on the formwork. The results showed that the maximum pressure occurred at the bottom of the pour, with a value of 65 kN/m². The formwork was designed to withstand this pressure, and the pour was completed successfully without any incidents. ciria report 108 concrete pressure on formwork
Formwork is a crucial component in the construction industry, particularly in the building of concrete structures. The temporary structure is used to hold and shape concrete until it sets and gains sufficient strength. One of the primary concerns with formwork is the pressure exerted by the concrete on the formwork, which can lead to deformation, instability, or even collapse. CIRIA (Construction Industry Research and Information Association) Report 108, titled "Concrete Pressure on Formwork," provides a comprehensive guide on the subject. This report aims to summarize and expand on the key findings and recommendations of CIRIA Report 108. CIRIA Report 108 provides a comprehensive guide on
The "H" method, as presented in CIRIA Report 108, is a widely used approach for estimating concrete pressure on formwork. The method assumes a linear pressure distribution with depth, with the maximum pressure occurring at the bottom of the pour. The pressure (P) at any point is calculated using the following equation: The project involved pouring a large concrete slab
This report aims to provide an interesting and informative review of CIRIA Report 108. It is essential to consult the original report for detailed information and guidance on concrete pressure on formwork.

Clear your Explorer thumbnail cache (see above) or copy the file to a different location.
This is a bug in Windows 10 that also affects other thumbnails – for example transparent PNG images here and here.
I can’t do anything in my program to work around it, I’m afraid. Please use the Windows 10 feedback function to report this to Microsoft. If enough users do it, they may eventually fix it. Windows 7 does not have this bug.
