S3D.export

---

The S3D.export namespace provides functions to export data and files from your s3d_model.

---

S3D.export.model.csv

Exports a specific element type from the s3d_model (e.g. nodes, members, plates) as a CSV-formatted string.

important

S3D.model.set must be called earlier in the session.

Key	Type	Accepts	Description
element_type	string	Nodes, Members, Plates, Meshed Plates, Supports, Materials, Sections	The model element type to export as CSV.

Sample input for S3D.export.model.csv

{

"function": "S3D.export.model.csv",

"arguments": {

"element_type": "Members"

}

}

The response will return the CSV data as a string.

Sample response for S3D.export.model.csv

{

"data": "Member,Node A,Node B,Section,Material\n1,1,2,W14x808,Structural Steel\n2,2,3,W14x808,Structural Steel\n",

"status": 0,

"function": "S3D.export.model.csv"

}

S3D.export.model.dxf

Exports the s3d_model as a DXF file.

important

S3D.model.set must be called earlier in the session.

Key	Type	Accepts	Description	Default
scale	float	e.g. 1	Scale factor applied to the exported geometry.	1
vertical_z	boolean	true, false	If true, treats the Z axis as vertical instead of Y.	false
timeout	integer	Milliseconds	How long to wait for the export to complete before timing out.	60000

Sample input for S3D.export.model.dxf

{

"function": "S3D.export.model.dxf",

"arguments": {

"scale": 1,

"vertical_z": false

}

}

The response will return the raw DXF file content as a string.

Sample response for S3D.export.model.dxf

{

"status": 0,

"msg": "DXF File Generated Successfully",

"data": {

"file": "999\r\nCreated By SkyCiv\r\n0\r\nSECTION\r\n2\r\nHEADER\r\n...\r\n0\r\nENDSEC\r\n0\r\nEOF\r\n"

},

"function": "S3D.export.model.dxf"

}

S3D.export.model.stl

Exports the s3d_model as an STL file, using the current 3D renderer geometry. This function takes no required arguments.

important

S3D.model.set must be called earlier in the session.

Key	Type	Accepts	Description	Default
timeout	integer	Milliseconds	How long to wait for the export to complete before timing out.	60000

Sample input for S3D.export.model.stl

{

"function": "S3D.export.model.stl"

}

The response will return the raw STL file content as a string.

Sample response for S3D.export.model.stl

{

"status": 0,

"msg": "STL File exported successfully",

"data": "solid exported\n\tfacet normal 0 -1 0\n\t\touter loop\n\t\t\tvertex 0.19 0 31.68\n\t\t\tvertex 0.19 0 31.57\n\t\t\tvertex 0.21 0 31.57\n\t\tendloop\n\tendfacet\n\t...\nendsolid exported",

"function": "S3D.export.model.stl"

}
