Export pipes

This step exports all extracted pipe elements, or sends them directly to other compatible applications.

  1. Optionally Rename or Edit the thickness of each element composing the pipe traces extracted thanks to the list (this is only exported through BIM export).

  2. Choose an Export type among the following ones:

    • BIM: saves an IFC file. Choose the IFC type which describes the best the model (ducts, pipes or cables).

    • Mesh: saves a STL, OBJ, DXF, GLB or FBX file composed of all elements of the pipe traces or sends them directly to other compatible applications(Refer to Send to) .

    • CAD: saves an IGES or STEP file composed of all elements of the pipe traces as CAD surfaces.

    • Center axis: saves an IGES or STEP file composed of the center axis and profiles of all elements of the pipe traces as CAD curves.

Notes

  • The exported geometry is always surfacic (no exception with ifc model: the material thickness is only an attribute).

  • The export will use the currently active coordinate system.
