Import STL File into MATLAB

So If I want to import an .stl file into MATLAB do I have to keep the file in a specific directory which MATLAB uses
All the examples I have seen on MATLAB website for Finite Element Analysis, they just use importGeometry(model, 'filename.stl') but none of them say that the file has to be in the default MATLAB directory or not. I tried to import a 3D CAD model in form of an .stl file but the program showed an error - "File does not exist".
Please help with the above situation.

In ‘importGeometry(model,geometryfile)’ function, parameter ‘geometryfile’ refers to the path to STL file. So you don’t need to have your STL file in the working directory.
