Description

The Mesh Export command exports a mesh object to a different file format. Several file formats are supported.

Usage

  1. Select a single mesh object.
  2. There are several ways to invoke the command:
    • Press the Mesh Export button.
    • Select the Meshes → Export mesh... option from the menu.
    • Select the Export mesh... option from the Tree view context menu or 3D view context menu.
  3. Select the correct file format in the dialog box.
  4. Enter a filename. If you have selected the All files (*.*) option in the previous step you can specify a file extension here. The default extension in that case is .stl.
  5. Press the Save button.

Options

  • Press Esc or the Cancel button to abort the command.

Notes
