Use the Export tool to create clean image files for digital and print, Videos or Reports!

Exporting your Project Scene

The OpenCities Planner’s Export tool provides you with a few specific advantages:

• You can export images at increased resolutions. This enables you to create images for screens with higher resolution than your own as well as create print-ready files.
• In exported files, the OpenCities Planner interface is removed creating a ‘clean scene’.
• You can choose from PNG or JPG format, tailoring the format for your needs.
• You can export 360o images for your applications.
• You can export parts of your 3D model, specifying the format and its quality for further use.
• You can create and export a Video customizing its settings like type and resolution and its animations.
• Export comments and everything you have from users as Shapefiles, Excel files, or PDFs and create reports.

Let’s review the Exported Images!

Regular or a 360^o Images?

You can either Export an Image of your project or a 360^o  one. You will find both options on the Export button in the Top Bar. Let’s explore them!

Exporting an Image

The Export Image Window is quite simple. You’ll find two options:

• Resolution – This is a simple multiplier. You can double or quadruple the exported file’s pixel count here.
• Image Format – Choose between PNG and JPG. Not sure? Stick with the default PNG or read about the difference here.

Note: The exported file dimensions are determined by the browser viewport, so resize the browser to the specific dimensions you require.

Exporting a 360^o Image

If you have an application that reads 360^o Images, this option enables you to create them and set their dimensions and their formats.
