I can't find convex hull option in File Solid

I'm currently using MATLAB 2019b，I can't find convex hull option in File Solid, but MATLAB document states that since 2019b users can enable convex hull port, why I can't find it? should I switch to a newer version of MATLAB?

"To enable this port, under Geometry, expand Export and select Convex Hull."

Could you confirm that there is either no Export section for Geometry, or else that there is no Convex Hull within that?

@Walter Roberson There is no Export section

Hi,

I understand that you want to know whether you have to upgrade your MATLAB version (R2019b) to generate Convex Hull representation of a 3D model.

It is evident from the release notes that the feature to “use File Solid and Extruded Solid blocks to export convex hull geometries” was included from version R2020a onwards. So, you should upgrade your MATLAB version.

You can access the setting under the “Geometry” section of the File Solid block dialog box.
