📥 Export Tool Documentation
The Export Tool* allows you to extract 3D geometry from the viewer and save it as standard *STL files, compatible with CAD software, 3D printing, and other modeling tools.
🏗️ Workflow
1. Select Parts: Select the components you wish to export in the 3D view or Node Tree.
2. Review: The Export Tool panel will list all selected meshes with their:
* Name
* Dimensions (meters)
* Triangle Count (Complexity)
3. Export*: Click *"DOWNLOAD STL".
📂 Output Format
- • Single File: If you select one part, you get a single
.stlfile named after the part.
.stl files for each part.
Coordinates & Scale**: The exported geometry retains the **World Coordinates** and uses the *Metric System (meters).
* Scale 1:1: Meshes are exported at their real-world 1:1 scale. This means if you export a wing and a fuselage separately and open them in CAD, they will align perfectly and have their exact real-world dimensions.
> Note: The export is binary STL, which is compact and widely supported.
