Every now and then a roof model starts feeling off. Geometry that should work doesn't. You've been in and out of the job, tweaking things, and now you're not sure you can trust it.
The Export RXF function was originally built to exchange roof geometry with truss design programmes. But its most practical use is this: when a model feels broken or suspect, export it, reimport it, and Roof Wizard reconstructs the geometry from scratch. No redundant points, no duplicated lines, nothing left over from hours of back-and-forth edits. Clean model, every time, in under a minute.
📌 In this video:
What the RXF file format is and why it was originally created
How to export your roof geometry using File - Export RXF
What "packing" does and why you want it on during export
How to import the RXF file back in using File - Import RXF
Which import settings to use (and one to always leave off)
The result: 100% clean geometry with no redundant points or lines
If you've ever abandoned a job and started again from scratch because the geometry felt wrong, this is the function that would have saved you that time.
