# Export

- Whole model: `export({ target: "model", code, format, output_path })` with

- `format` one of `step`, `stl`, `3mf`, `glb`, `dxf`, `gcode`.

- Options: `3mf` takes `printUnit` and `embedSource`; `dxf` takes `unit`,

+ `format` one of `step`, `stl`, `3mf`, `glb`, `obj`, `usd`, `dxf`, `gcode`.

+ `obj` is a Wavefront triangle mesh. `usd` is an ASCII USDA triangle mesh

+ with millimeter units and Z-up coordinates; it is not B-rep USD. NVIDIA's

+ usd-brep BrepArray is not emitted because this writer consumes tessellated

+ vertices and triangle indices, while BrepArray requires full B-rep topology

+ and curve/surface data. Use `usd-isaac` separately for an assembly physics

+ stage. Options: `3mf` takes `printUnit` and `embedSource`; `dxf` takes `unit`,

`tolerance`, `layers`; `glb` takes `axis`.

- Per part of an assembly: `export({ target: "part", code, output_dir })`.

- Before exporting for print: `inspect({ of: "part-stats", code })`. For a

bill of materials: `inspect({ of: "bom", code })`.

- Verify a STEP after export with `inspect({ of: "step", file })`.

- The hosted server returns a download link or file reference; give the user

that link and say which format and units it is in. Keep verification on

(do not pass `no_verify: true`) unless the user asks.
