# Export

When your preview and settings look right, click **Export** in the toolbar to generate a SketchUp file.

## Export settings

The **Export settings** overlay has two tabs:

### Proxy

Configure V-Ray and Enscape proxies and the SketchUp placeholder type. See [Proxies](/exporting/proxies.md).

### Files

| Setting                                        | Description                                         |
| ---------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| **Copy material maps**                         | Copy texture files next to the exported `.skp`      |
| **Prefix the material names with the model's** | Material names become `Model name \| Material name` |

## Save the file

1. Confirm export settings.
2. Choose the destination path and file name in the save dialog.
3. Wait for **Transmuting…** to finish.

Transmutr writes a SketchUp `.skp` using the SketchUp version selected in [Options](/options.md).

## Export report

After export, Transmutr may show:

* Success, success with warnings, partial failure, or failure
* Lists of additional files (material maps, proxy sidecars)
* **Show in explorer** to reveal the output folder
* **Export details** for a full report

## After export

* If you launched Transmutr from the [SketchUp extension](/sketchup-extension.md), models are typically sent back automatically.
* If SketchUp is running and connected, Transmutr may ask whether to [**Send to SketchUp**](/exporting/send-to-sketchup.md).
