CAD export

CAD objects (curves and points) created in NUBIGON can be exported as DXF or DWG files.

  • Organize your CAD objects into groups. 
  • Select groups and/or individual CAD objects from the Object List. 
  • Go to File > Export > Export CAD
  • To export in the same coordinate as the point cloud, choose the point cloud from the Offset dropdown. 
  • Enter your file name and press Save.


The name and color of the groups (CAD layers) will also be exported to the DXF/DWG file. Objects that are not under a group (pillar and pillar (2) in the above example) will be exported in the default CAD layer "0".


Mesh export

Meshes created in NUBIGON can be exported as OBJ files.

  • Select a single mesh from the Object List.
  • Go to File > Export > Export Mesh.
  • To export in the same coordinate as the point cloud, choose the point cloud from the Offset dropdown.
  • Enter your file name and press Save.
