Exphora Booth Designer exports to six formats so your design can flow into any downstream pipeline — production CAD, photoreal rendering, AR previews, or a simple client email. The right format depends on which tool you (or your fabricator) plan to open the file in.
Which format should I pick?
- GLB — best for web, AR, and client preview links. Single self-contained file with PBR materials.
- DAE / Collada — best for SketchUp and many exhibition render pipelines. Preserves materials and lights.
- OBJ — universal fallback. Pair with the .mtl file for basic materials. Works in nearly every 3D app.
- STL — best for 3D printing booth props or signage. Geometry only, no color or materials.
- DXF — best for AutoCAD and 2D shop drawings. Exports a flat plan view of the booth.
- PNG — best for proposals, slides, or quick client emails. Renders the current camera view as an image.

Frequently asked questions
People also ask
Which export format is best for SketchUp?
DAE (Collada) is the most reliable. SketchUp imports DAE natively and preserves materials. OBJ also works but loses some material fidelity.
Which export format is best for AutoCAD?
DXF for 2D shop drawings. For 3D, use OBJ — AutoCAD imports OBJ as a mesh you can reference but not directly edit as solids.
Which export format is best for Blender?
GLB. Blender imports GLB with full PBR materials, lights, and a single self-contained file. OBJ is a fine fallback.
Can I export only part of my booth?
Yes. Select the modules you want, then choose File → Export Selection to export only those objects.
Are exports included on the free plan?
Yes. GLB, OBJ, DAE, STL, DXF, and PNG exports are all available on the free Booth Designer.
