Description |
|
Export |
|
|
Selected Objects Only |
Exports only selected 3D objects |
|
All Objects in Current Layer |
Exports all visible 3D objects from the current layer (including objects in design layer viewports) |
|
All Visible Objects in All Layers |
Exports all visible 3D objects from all layers in the Vectorworks file (including objects in design layer viewports) |
|
Quality |
Set the conversion quality of 3D objects that have curved surfaces. Quality is determined by the number of polygons in the export; using fewer, larger polygons results in lower quality. Exporting more polygons slows down the export and increases the size of the output file. |
|
Apply Double Side Faces |
Applies double sided faces. This setting allows you to view a model from all sides, even if double-sided rendering is off. Selecting this setting increases file size. |
Select the export options.
Specify the export file name and destination.
A folder containing all OBJ contents is created in the location specified.
