Overview

Files in z-weave can be extracted by converting to FBX format**,** which is a 3D file commonly used in 3D software.

Location

Menu Bar > File > Export > FBX

Operation Method

Export FBX

1. Click File in the top menu bar.
2. Click Export, then select the FBX file to be converted.
3. Select what data to include in the Export window.
4. Select the path to save.
5. The exported file will be saved in the set path.

Components

FBX Export Option

• Smooth

  This function reflects the surfaces smoothly. The output is similar to turning on the Smoothing option in the 3D Viewing Toolbar.

  ---

• Thickness

  This function reflects the Thickness for each Surface. The output is similar to turning on the Thickness option on the 3D Viewing Toolbar. When Thickness is unchecked, every Surface will be exported thin.

  ---

• Export Avatar

  This function exports the Avatar together with the file. When Avatar is unchecked, the output is similar to unchecking Show Avatar in 3D via Side panel > Avatar.

  ---

• Export accessories

  This function exports accessories such as buttons, logos, and stitches along with the files. If the "Accessories" option is unchecked, the file will be exported without the accessories.

• Scale UV into 1x1
  This function exports the UV mesh in (1,1) coordinates.
  
  When it is turned on, UV is exported to fit in the (1,1) coordinates and ignores the fabric placer. On the other hand, when it is turned off, UV does not fit in (1,1) coordinates, and UV size changes depending on the size of the fabric placer applied.
  
  The UV layout follows the z-weave 2D layout. So we recommend placing the pattern according to the square ratio if you use this option.
  

• Split mesh
  This function extracts the meshes for a surface's front, back, and sides separately.
  

  When this option is enabled, each face's front, back, and side meshes are extracted separately. The separated meshes can be assigned different materials.

  If the option is turned off, the result is a single, non-separated mesh that cannot have different materials assigned to each side and will use a common material.
