About Exporting Materials in 3D XML

3D XML is a lightweight, XML-based format used for quick and easy sharing of 3D data.

You can export a material or a set of materials in the 3D XML format to share them with collaborators.

Material behaviors are also exported with the material.

Only PLM materials without shader are supported.

When you select the for review format for export, V6 only exports the data in the appearance domain for the selected material. Material properties specified in other domains are not included in the export process.

The site information status depends on the object that you export with a delegation:

Exported ObjectSite Information Status
Material ReferenceThe material reference and its domains.
Material DomainThe material domain only.
Material VectorThe material vector but not the material references.
