Workflows, Best Practice guidance, Tips and Tricks to extract the best from Hammer Missions

Why export a model?

When a survey or scan is complete, the next step is often to share that model with designers, contractors, or other teams using BIM or CAD tools. Exporting from Hammer Missions lets your Hammer Missions models in commonly used formats, which those tools should accept. This makes collaboration smoother and reduces rework caused by incompatible file types.

Where to start in Hammer Hub

Open the project you want to export from the Hammer Hub and navigate to the project data analysis area.

Step-by-step: Exporting your model

  1. Open the project

    Find the project in Project Data Analysis and open it so the model and associated tools load in the viewer.

  2. Locate the export control

    The export control is positioned below the 3D model in the standard view. If you use split screen, you will find the same control on the left side of the split view.
