Export Options
The ShapeDiver plugin comes with several new primitives added to Grasshopper, including the Export Options primitive. Export Options are one of the inputs of the Download Export and Email Export components. They are used to define the file format used for exporting, as well as various export options which correspond to the options that are available in Rhino when using the _Export
command.
Typically, one would create Export Options using one of the components of the Outputs category. The current export options components available are listed below. For each of them, we link to the Rhino documentation page that lists the available options.
The available export options for each supported file type do not always include all the export options available in Rhino, either because those options do not make sense in the context of ShapeDiver or because they are not supported yet. Let us know if you are missing important export options in the forum.
