When you export a STEP file from Halocline Layout, the structure of your work in Halocline Layout is preserved and converted accordingly into the STEP format. Here you can learn which elements and structures are retained:
- Group Structure: The group structure created in Halocline Layout is transferred one-to-one into a hierarchy in the STEP file. This helps maintain clarity.
- Ungrouped Objects: Objects that are not assigned to a group appear sequentially in the list in the STEP file, but without a hierarchy.
- Names of Individual Objects: Each object retains its individual name that you assigned in Halocline Layout.
- CAD Objects: All CAD objects keep their original names.
With this detailed transfer of elements from Halocline Layout to the STEP format, you can ensure that the essential information and structure of your project are preserved.
It may happen that the listed data is displayed differently or not at all. This depends on the CAD viewer or editor. The CAD software determines how the data is read.
The best tool to check how the data is exported (hierarchy, names) is Halocline Assembly.
