Select. Export. Download.

One short exercise, followed by tools you can explore when you need them.

EXPORTUX2 guide for the current public review beta. Prototype and SolidWorks target acceptance remain pending. Manufacturing HOLD.

First: download one part

You can try this without changing a cut or saving a new project.

Choose Head. Use Selection above the model. Confirm that it says Head.
Choose Export. Use the button beside Selection, or the Export tool tab. Check the displayed part name.
Choose your file format. For a quick mesh review, choose STL · review mesh. Choose Generate export when offered. An existing matching result may already have Download available.
Wait for Ready, then Download. Find the file in your browser’s Downloads. On iPhone, open Files → Downloads, or the folder selected in Safari settings. An STL is a review mesh; it is not automatically print-ready.

Next: change a cut and keep your design

After the first download, use Design → Section to adjust a cut. Inspect the part and keep side in the model. Choose a saved cut by name when you export it. Every changed cut needs its own matching result; a prepared S01 file does not include your edits.

Choose Save complete project separately to request a .go3d.json copy. Check that file exists in Downloads or Files before closing the app. Use Open complete project to reopen it. Saving a project does not submit a processing job or generate CAD. Physical iPhone save/reopen testing is still pending.

Choose the file you need

Format	What you get
STEP	Generate a capped faceted STEP review solid from the selected C01 part or saved cut. The download is checked against that exact revision. Large or complex cuts can exceed the beta limits. Automatic Drive storage is separate. SolidWorks 2021 acceptance remains pending.
STL	Actual selected mesh clipped at your current planes. Browser exports add no caps. The report identifies open edges; review meshes are not print-ready.
DXF	Actual section intersections as 3D LINE entities in original source XYZ, in millimetres. Open the section with units set to mm. These are contour lines, not a solid.
NURBS	Advanced Surface / NURBS tools fit a local patch and export a STEP sheet with a fit report. A fitted patch is not a finished, closed character solid.
Project / JSON	Saved design intent and, for complete projects, loaded review geometry. Saving does not submit a job or create CAD.

If something stops

Keep the page open and save your project. After a STEP failure, choose Save failure details and wait for GO3D to review it before another calculation. Keep the current design; do not move a cut merely to hide the error. The failure details remain available for the failed selection after reloading. A changed selection hides older results. “Check for completed files” refreshes published results; it does not submit a job. If no file appears after Download, keep the viewer open and choose the same Download button again; you do not need to regenerate a ready file. If a prepared file opens a Drive preview, use its Download control. Extract ZIP packages before opening the .step file.

Computer control requires the separate paired companion setup and Bill’s approval for that scope. A browser check does not tune or control SolidWorks.
