How do I export separate rooms in the multiroom 3D model for Relux? 

When you’ve scanned multiple rooms or entire buildings and need to export a specific room for your light planning software Relux Desktop, you can easily do it in the Metaroom Workspace.  

Please note: since 08.02.2024, all spaces fully enclosed by walls have been detected as rooms automatically. That is what we call Automated room detection.

How do I export 3D Models to Relux Desktop?

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to export your 3D model of the scanned rooms to Relux Desktop:

1. Complete the scan using your Apple Pro device and the Metaroom Scan App, then proceed to the Metaroom Workspace on your desktop browser.
2. Find your desired room in the “Projects” tab. Click on the 3D model to open it.
3. If you expand the model tree on the left sidebar, you will see that Metaroom has already detected and grouped rooms within your 3D model. Here are some shortcuts to move the 3D model in the scene:
   • To rotate the model, hold down the left mouse button and drag.
   • If you want to move the model, use the right mouse button and drag the model to your preferred position.
   • A simple left-click on an object like a wall will select it.
   • To deselect an object or wall, click again on the object or remove it from the selection list.
   • For zooming in or out, scroll the mouse wheel.
4. To initiate the exporting process, click the “Export Project” button located in the top toolbar navigation.
5. Select RELUX Desktop (.rdf) format and click “Export.” The Relux export mode will be activated.
6. Choose which rooms you want to include in your export by selecting them from the model tree. Click the checkbox next to each room name, and they will automatically be added to the export list on the right sidebar.
7. If you want to export an open area or a custom combination of spaces, you can group them manually before exporting. Select the walls and assets you’d like to include, assign a group name, and click the “Create New Group” button on the right sidebar. The new group will appear in the model tree and can be selected as a single room for export.
8. To finalize the export, give your export a name on the right sidebar. Select whether you want to export the complete model or room geometry only, then click on “Relux Export” button to start exporting the file.
9. Access the export list by clicking on the pop-up message or by navigating to the main menu and selecting ‘Export‘ tab.
10. Once the export is complete, you can download the model by clicking the “Download” button in the Export section.
11. Congratulations! You’ve successfully exported a room. Open the downloaded file in RELUX Desktop to start planning your lighting solutions.
