Export format limitations

Dimension provides several formats for exporting 3D models for use in other projects or applications. Each format has different ways of handling the data during export.

DN

DN is the native Dimension format and is best for reusing models across Dimension projects to preserve decals and material quality. Dimension files can only be opened with Dimension or Adobe Substance 3D Stager, and cannot be imported into other applications.

OBJ

OBJ is a format for importing to many 3D applications. When exporting to OBJ you may lose object hierarchy, material fidelity, animation, or other aspects that OBJ does not support.

GLTF

GLTF is a compressed format optimized for speed and runtime use. When exporting to GLTF you may experience some loss in quality due to the compression of this format.

GLB

GLB is a compressed format optimized for speed and runtime use. When exporting to GLB you may experience some loss in quality due to the compression of this format.
