  1. Make sure that the checkbox 3D exportable in the properties panel is activated for parts which you wish to export. Sub-parts do not have a checkbox because they are automatically exported with their parent parts. In addition, checkboxes for object types are also located in the File > Settings > Application > Data exchange > Export in the 3D document environment.

  2. Go to Workspace / Workdesk > Export > 3D model.

    The Save as dialog is opened for you to browse to a suitable location, assign a name, and determine the file type.


  3. Click [Save].

    The export is carried out.

Note:

When exporting a 3D model with an image, the image is not exported.
