OpenSCAD can now export STL, OFF, AMF, DXF, SVG, CSG and PNG (image).

How many of these can it import?
Can it tell, from the file contents, which it is?

STL, OFF and DXF are imported using import().
CSG can be imported using include<>
PNG can be imported using surface()
We have open pull requests for SVG and AMF, which require a bit more work/testing.

We require a valid file suffix to determine type, but that’s possible to improve.

By the way is the syntax for surface() the same as import()?
i.e.
import("example012.stl", convexity=3);
surface("example012.png", convexity=3);

Ignore last question. I found surface() in the manual
