Export Buildings to VXZ Files

You can create a compressed file of the selected building folder, which can then be sent as an e-mail attachment, for example. If necessary, you can remove the folder of the compressed building from the building archive.

  1. Select Archives | Buildings | Export.
  2. Select the buildings to be compressed in a dialog box. You can sort buildings by name, date, saving location or description by clicking the headers. Each building is compressed into a VXZ file of its own.

    Selecting from a List

  3. Click OK.
  4. Select the folder in which you want to save the compressed files.
  5. Click OK.

    The program compresses the selected buildings and saves the VXZ files in the selected folder. The VXZ files are named according to the building ids, for example Building_1.vxz. You will be prompted: Do you want to delete these buildings and building folders from the archive?

  6. Do either of the following:
    • If you want to keep the folders of the compressed buildings in the building archive, click No.
    • If you want to delete the folders of the compressed buildings from the building archive, click Yes.
Note:
  • The files that will be included in the compressed file are defined in the Pack_Control file, located either in the building folder or the Setup folder.
  • You can also save a building to VXZ file when closing the building by selecting the check box Export building to VXZ file in the dialog box.
