Exporting an image — MEP Tools

PNG/JPG export of the section — content, quality, and background options.

Open Export Image on the ribbon to save the current section as a PNG or JPG.

Content

Choose what the export includes with a preset:

• As on screen — matches whatever overlays are currently visible in the workspace.
• Section — a fixed preset for a clean section view.
• Custom — pan and zoom the canvas yourself, then export exactly that framing.

Changes you make here apply to the export only and revert once you leave the panel — they don't change your saved view settings.

Quality

Standard, High, or Max — higher quality renders at a larger pixel scale. Very large sections are automatically reduced to fit the browser's maximum image size; you'll see a note when that happens.

Background

Transparent, White, or a Custom colour. JPG has no transparency, so choosing Transparent with a JPG export falls back to white automatically.

Worker figures in the export

The same Off / Access / Floor worker overlay control from Visibility Settings applies to the exported image, so you can include or drop the reach-envelope figure from the shot.

What isn't covered here

There's no DXF or IFC export for this tool — only PNG/JPG images. For saving and reopening the underlying project, see Saving & projects.
