Exporting in Rhino 3DM Format

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

Objects that are exported to a .3dm file include:

To export a Rhino 3DM file:

  1. Select File > Export > Export Rhino 3DM (3D only).

  2. The Export Options dialog box opens.

  3. Select Export Solid as Trimmed Surfaces to export a solid as several different โ€œbodiesโ€ (for example, a cube exports as six bodies); otherwise, a solid is exported as a single body.

  4. Click OK.

  5. Specify the file name and destination, and then click Save.
