Export Settings

When available for plugin, Export Settings lets you configure the model location options and the model visibility options.

Export Settings options:

Revit Location refers to the coordinate systems contained within the Revit Project and can be defined three ways

  • Ask on Export - The Model Exporter will prompt the user to select the appropriate coordinate system during export
  • Use Revit Project Location - Uses the active project location
  • Use None -Resets project location to default values

Export Selected will require the user to have an active selection prior to initializing the Model Exporter and will only export selected objects

Visibility tells the Model Exporter which geometry to include in the export

  • Export Visible - Exports all visible content within the 3D view
  • Export Visible + Room Volumes - Exports all visible content within the 3D view plus room volumes
  • Export All - Exports all geometry found within the Revit project, even if it's hidden in the active 3D view

Info displays some basic information about your current session

  • InEight Connection - Displays the current status of the Model Exporter's communication with InEight Model
    • Connected - Online - Connection is established to the server
  • Disconnected - Offline - Not connected to the server. Check your Internet connection or login to your project within InEight Model
  • Logged-in as - The currently logged in user
  • Cache Location - The path of the InEightModel_Cache folder
