Mesh Formats

From the 3D-View simply select (in the tree-view) the solid(s) to export and select "File > Export".
Then select your file type.
Be sure to type in also the file extension.
Since these formats are mesh formats, the solids will be exported with a "standard" mesh quality.
Use the Mesh Module to adjust the quality of the mesh if needed.
