Extensible Application Markup Language (.xaml) export

Exports 3-D meshes a to an xaml (Extensible Application Markup Language) file for web applications that use SilverLight.

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 Options to specify export settings.
7. If the file type creates only mesh objects, in the Polygon Mesh Objects dialog box, specify the mesh settings.

XAML Export Options

Use render meshes

Uses the render mesh if one exists in the model.

Add rotation scrollbars

Adds slider bars to rotate the model.

Use origin for rotation center

Rotates the model around 0,0,0.

Add rotation animation

X Axis / Y Axis / Z Axis

Rotates the model about the x, y, or z axis.

Always use these settings. Do not show this dialog again.

Saves the current settings and turns off the dialog display.

To turn the message back on

Click Options in the appropriate Save, Export, Open, Import, or Insert dialog box.
