Import & Export

The graph supports a limited set of geometry and image formats for import and export.

Imported geometry and images files need to be uploaded as assets before they can be used.

Images are primarily used as textures for materials.

The following two formats are supported for upload:

An image that was previously uploaded in one of these formats, can be loaded into a graph using the image asset node.

See the material concept page for more on working with images as textures.

The following formats are supported for import, with noted limitations:

Geometry that was previously uploaded in one of these formats, can be loaded into a graph using the geometry asset node.

Geometry can be exported from the graph by either:

Right mouse button clicking a node, navigating to Download, and selecting a file format.
Right mouse button clicking the graph background, navigating to Download all outputs, and selecting a file format.

The latter option will download the geometry from all output selected nodes.

Exports following primitive types:

ASCII STL only. STLs only contain triangle data. No normals, UVs, or groups.

Exports following primitive types:

Note that the curves only support 2D coordinates: XY, with Z coordinate effectively zeroed.

Exports following primitive types:

PolyMesh, as Faceted BREP
NURBS surface, triangulated as Faceted BREP
NURBS curve: as TRB Polyline
Materials: supports opacity, sideness, base color, base texture, metallicness and roughness.
