Export and print
Save the assembly as a file, or export the section as a PDF, PNG or SVG with its numbers and caveats on it.
Open Export ▾ in the toolbar. For how exports work in every tool, see Exports.
Save the assembly as a file #
Wall Sections file (.walls.json) saves the whole assembly. To get it back, click Import in the toolbar and pick the file. It opens as new work on this computer.
Export the drawing #
These export the section as it's shown on screen, so the Color / B/W and Analysis settings carry over:
- PDF: for printing or attaching.
- PNG image: a picture.
- SVG drawing: a vector drawing you can edit in Illustrator or Inkscape.
The file name starts with the date and the assembly's name.
The title strip #
Every drawing export gets a title strip under the section, so it can't travel without its caveats. It carries:
- the assembly's name, wall or floor, zone and location, and the design conditions
- the rated cavity R, ci, rated R with air films, effective R and U
- the code check result and the code it used
- the dew point result for the season shown, and the vapor retarder result where it applies
- the date and the disclaimer
To print, export the PDF and print that.
Who can export what #
Viewers of a project, and people opening a view-only link, can export the pictures (PDF and PNG) once they're signed in. The .walls.json file and the SVG are for the project's editors and your own work. The menu says which items you can use.
