The Export OBJ dialog box will appear. Configure the options.
Option Overview Detail Recommended Value Topology Shape of the exported polygons Tris - triangular polygons only.
Quads - quadrangular and triangular polygons.
Ngons - polygons with multiple sides, including quads and tris.Show Wireframe Display the wireframe of the exported mesh Useful for previewing topology and density, which gauges the overall surface quality before exporting. Density Overall polygon density The only value that automatically adjusts other settings.
Lower value: fewer polygons, rougher shape.
Higher value: more polygons, more detail.Min Width Minimum polygon size Increase to avoid congestion of small polygons in areas like minute fillets. Max Width Maximum polygon size Decrease to avoid extremely large polygons or to make polygon size more uniform. Edge Plane Tolerance Maximum allowable deviation of edges (in cm) Similar to Face Plane Tolerance, but affects edges and face boundaries more than the center of the face. Face Plane Tolerance Maximum allowable deviation (in cm) Lower value: more polygons, more detail.
Higher value: fewer polygons, rougher shape.
One of the most effective ways to control polygon count.Low poly: 0.01- High poly:0.0001
If you need a value smaller than0.001, consider decreasing Max Width instead.Edge Angle Tolerance Maximum allowable angular deviation of edges (in radians) Similar to Face Angle Tolerance, but affects edges and face boundaries more than the center of the face. Low poly: 0.35- High poly:0.15Face Angle Tolerance Maximum allowable angular deviation (in radians) Lower value: curved surfaces converted faithfully, more polygons.
Higher value: curved surfaces converted roughly, fewer polygons.Low poly: 0.35- High poly:0.15Advanced
Option Overview Detail Recommended Value Curve Max Length Maximum allowable length of a curve segment Plane Angle Maximum allowable ratio between plane tolerance and max width Useful for obtaining more quadrangles or polygons. Remove Small Features Strip tiny surface details on export Defines a bounding box threshold — any detail smaller than the specified size is omitted. Ideal for high poly to low poly workflows. Inflect Preserve surface quality Adds detail in areas where curved surfaces transition from convex to concave. Simplify Radial Surfaces Simplify radius geometry to improve edge flow Orients spheres, cylinders, tori, and cones along a common axial direction so edge flow lines align more predictably during faceting. Convex Ngons Only Prevent concave ngons for cleaner topology Available only when exporting Ngons. Forces all exported ngons to be convex, inserting extra faces where necessary. Results in reliable topology and consistent normal shading at the slight cost of a higher ngon count. Scale Export scale multiplier Applies a multiplier to all exported coordinates for correct unit conversion in the target application. Up Axis Orientation of exported geometry Sets the up axis to match the conventions of the target application. -
