# Export 3D Part Geometry

{% hint style="info" %}
This feature was introduced in version 6.0.0.
{% endhint %}

This module allows you to export **one** or **more parts** as 3D geometries in one operation.

This can be done from three places:

* From Parts List to export all parts.
* From a group of the Parts List to export all the parts of the group.
* From part's properties dialog to export edited parts.

Each part will be exported in a separate file. All the files will be placed in the directory named after the part's material and thickness (or section).

## Configuration

### Supported Formats

The 3D geometry can be exported to files with the following formats:

* **STL** : [Stereolitography](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STL_\(file_format\))&#x20;
* **OBJ** : [Wavefront OBJ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavefront_.obj_file)

### Export Options

* **Unit** : Defines the unit used in the exported file.
* **Anchor Point** : This options preserves the location of the coordinate axes of the SketchUp component of this part in the exported file (Project the part's origin). Otherwise, the smallest coordinate of the bounding box is used as location of the origin of the coordinate axes (Default).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.opencutlist.org/features/parts/export-part-drawing/3d-geometry.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
