User Guide
The model file created when the user runs an export template contains only the geometric data needed for Review to display a 3D visualisation of the design. The Export utility allows the user to create a data file containing the settings of all the attributes of specified design elements and is structured to reflect the original database hierarchy. A visualisation program, can then be used, to query any design data details without having direct online access to the databases.
To create a full attribute file for use by Review, on the Tools tabs, in the Export group, click Review, select Dump Attributes from the drop-down list to display the Export Attribute File window.
