  • Meshes

  • Points

  • Lines

  • Polylines

  • Nurbscurves

  • Polycurves

  • Circles

  • Ellipses

  • Arcs

  • Elliptical Arcs

Non exportable geometries will be skipped. The GUID of the objects will be shown at the end of the export.

Sub-D export is native from version 1.7. In previous versions, to export Sub-D objects in Rhino 7, convert them to nurbs first.
