Export Rhino 3DM (3D only) |
File > Export |
The Export Rhino 3DM (3D only) command exports 3D curves, surfaces, and solids from a Vectorworks file into Rhino 3DM format, used by Rhinoceros model files. Closed solids are exported as solids, while open solids are exported as a collection of surfaces.

To export a Rhino 3DM file:
Select the command.
The Export Options dialog box opens.
Vectorworks meshes are exported to Rhino as meshes. However, if Export Solid as Trimmed Surfaces is selected, each mesh face exports as an individual trimmed surface. For example, a cube exports as six bodies.
Specify the file name and destination.
