Export as svg or vector?

General Discussion

Hi there.
I am fairly new to world machine, and Im still learning.
I have created some flow maps with erosion modifier, and I would like to export as a vector for editing in lets say Rhinoceros for example or another cad program? Thing is when I export as mesh output, the direction of the lines generated in the erosion is lost. I dont know if there is a way to do this :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot

Hey!

As far as I know that is not possible. The flow lines are stored as raster image data, no vectors are stored, neither will the mesh have vector data. The only thing I can suggest is tracing the erosion lines from within your CAD program :confused:

You could export as PNG from World Machine and then try converting Raster to Vector (Tracing) in Inkscape (Free), then export from Inkscape as Vector:
