Options

General	Description
Content	If there are objects selected then only selected objects are exported. When no objects are selected, select one of the following: Displayed - Select to export all visible objects. All - Select to export all objects.
Curve Tolerance	Curves and splines are exported as a series of straight line segments. To control the smoothness of curves and splines, enter the maximum offset distance from a curve to the straight line segment representing the curve.
Text Scale Factor	Type a scale factor to be applied to exported text.
Add Project Attributes	Select the checkbox to export project attributes.
Insert Delete/Create	Select the checkbox to insert instructions in the exported Genio file to delete the model and create a new model. This ensures data is added to a clean model.
Fixed Decimal Format	Do one of the following: Select the checkbox to export numeric values to a fixed 8 decimal places. Clear the checkbox to export numeric values using the scientific notation specified in the Genio format.
Metadata	Click to enter multi-line text that is exported as metadata.

Notes

Export points, lines, alignments, long section, polygons, annotations and terrain models.
Layer names are truncated to 4 characters. Use a lookup table to rename layers to acceptable GENIO names.
Points that are not on a layer or mapped to a layer beginning with 'P' are assigned point codes that have been automatically prefixed with the letter 'P'.
Points on or mapped to the layer "PSSA" are exported as a GENIO Survey Station String.
2D circular arcs are converted to polylines using the Curve Tolerance.
The GENIO model name is the same name as the project.
Set Content to 'All' to export long sections or set Content to 'Display' and include the long sections alignment in the selection.

Possible errors

Error	Description
Curve tangency not maintained for alignment {Alignment name}.	A warning to indicate that the straight is not the tangent of the curve or transition curve. The file is still exported.
The long section long section name could not be exported. The profile is discontinuous.	The long section contains a gap which is not supported by the export format. You should either break the long section at the gap and create two separate long sections, or fill the gap by adding a new long section segment.
