Where can I find this command?
The Export command saves selected objects to a new Rhino (or other supported format) file.
To save as or export a Rhino model
| 1. | From the File menu, click Export Selected or Save As. |
| 2. | In the dialog box, the Files of type list displays the currently supported file types for export. |
| 3. | In the Files of type box, select the supported file type. |
| 4. | In the File name box, select or type a file name. |
| 5. | Specify what is to be saved. |
Save small
Though clearing the render meshes makes the file smaller, it will shade and render more slowly the next time you open the file.
Save geometry only
Saves geometry objects only. No layers, materials, properties, notes, or units settings are saved.
This is similar to exporting the objects. A new file is made, but it does not become your active Rhino model.
Save Textures
Embeds external textures used by materials, environments and decals into the model.
| 6. | If the export can be configured, click to specify export settings. |
| 7. | If the file type creates only mesh objects, in the Polygon Mesh Objects dialog box, specify the mesh settings. |
Command-line options

The ExportWithOrigin command saves selected objects to a new Rhino .3dm file with a specified origin and construction plane.
Steps
| 1. | Pick an insertion base point on the model that will become the world origin of the new file, or press Enter to use the current model world origin (0,0,0). |
| 2. | In the Export dialog box, type a file name. |
| 3. | Click Save. The objects in the resulting file have the same relationship to the world top construction plane as the original objects had to their original construction plane active during the export. |
