What STL resolution does prusa slicer export

There is an option in PrusaSlicer to export build plate with supports.

I'm curious to know to what tolerances the STL is being exported at.

I've tested just exporting an STL from my CAD program into and out of prusa slicer without any changes and the file size stays the same.

But there are no options for the STL Chordial Tolerance or Angular Tolerance.

 

I'm very curious to understand the mechanism more, if it is hard coded or exports the STL at whatever resolution it came in as, before and after generating the supports.

Not 100% sure but seeing as PS has a simplify option to reduce mesh complexity I suspect it outputs at the same as the model was loaded.  Unless of course you use the simplify tool to reduce it first before exporting.  At least if importing as stl and then exporting as stl. 

There have been issues reported with loading some obj files though so thats a bit more dicey.
