Export

Export from the panel

1. Choose Export… (⌘E). The panel exports the model on view: the base model, or the selected conversation's copy.
2. Pick a format:

Group	Formats	Options
BIM	IFC4, IFC2X3
Drawings	DXF and DWG (the plan at the cut height, one file per storey), PDF set (every sheet, one PDF each, into a folder)	DXF, DWG: the Storeys to write
CAD	STEP AP214, STEP AP242, IGES, SketchUp (saves moves and colours into the .skp the elements came from: see SketchUp)	STEP, IGES: Solids only: leave out doors, windows and imported meshes rather than write them faceted
Mesh	GLB (always Y up, in metres), OBJ (with its MTL), STL, 3MF	OBJ, STL, 3MF: Up axis and Units

1. Click Save… and pick where it goes.

The export runs as a job with Cancel. Cancel or a failure leaves no file behind, partial or otherwise. A DXF or DWG for one storey writes name.dxf; for more, name-<storey>.dxf each. An export never replaces a file the save dialog did not ask about.

The panel remembers the last format the project wrote. The older menu items (Export IFC…, Export STEP…, Export DXF…...) open it at their format.

Limit. DWG export works only in development builds for now: released builds fail the job until the DWG writer is cleared for release. FBX is not offered; convert the GLB.

Export what the drawings need

• For PDFs with sheets of your choosing, combined or with an issue note, use Publish…. See Sheets, layouts and title blocks.
• A DXF export of a Design project puts the rooms on a ROOMS layer.

Bring STEP solids in

Import STEP… (⌥⇧⌘I) brings a STEP file's solids in as fixed elements on the storey you pick. Undo removes them. For SketchUp models, see SketchUp.

Ask the agent

The agent on the control port can export to any of these formats. The agent in the chat cannot write files.
