# Common Settings

Common Settings tab options in Export Setup window

## Common Settings *** * ***Location for export of CNC files*** – lets you choose where the export files are supposed to be placed: * ***Project file location*** – the exporter will create a separate folder at the same location where the current Revit project is saved * ***Custom location*** – lets you choose the common location for all exported files *** * ***Project Information Parameters*** – lets you choose what kind of Revit parameters will be used for exported file metadata: * ***Project Name*** – lets you choose a parameter for collecting project name * ***Object Number*** – lets you choose a parameter for collecting project number *** * ***Elements Identification and Mark*** – this section lets you choose a configuration for marking elements, edit the configuration and create export filters: * ***Configure*** ![](/files/cwihmwBywpsvA1VajMwn) button opens [Advanced Setup menu (Element Identification and Mark)](https://app.gitbook.com/o/GVtnSLEqyn4gTgkVXno7/s/qtUsszuAWXIZhQhrvjnb/~/changes/967/design-data-management-and-exchange/cnc-exporters/weinmann-btl/user-interface/export-setup-window/common-settings/advanced-setup-element-identification-and-mark) for editing configuration for markings. * ***Automatically skip not marked Elements*** – lets you exclude specific elements from being exported: * ***Ticked*** – excludes elements that have information missing in parameters defined in the configuration. * ***Unticked (default)*** – not active; everything is exported. * ***Automatically skip filtered out Elements*** – lets you exclude specific elements from being exported: * ***Ticked*** – excludes elements based on the filters defined in Element Filtering tab in [Advanced Setup (Element Identification and Mark)](https://app.gitbook.com/o/GVtnSLEqyn4gTgkVXno7/s/qtUsszuAWXIZhQhrvjnb/~/changes/967/design-data-management-and-exchange/cnc-exporters/weinmann-btl/user-interface/export-setup-window/common-settings/advanced-setup-element-identification-and-mark). * ***Unticked (default)*** – not active; everything is exporter. * ***Marking Orientation by*** - allows you to choose what element should be used as a reference for placing mark: * ***Host*** ***(default)*** - orients the marks in relation to the Revit host element (wall, floor, roof, truss) * ***Element*** - orients the marks in relation to structural framing elements. *** * ***Assembly Station Mode*** – allows you to merge a few frame assemblies into one file and controls the whole file structure: * ***Export Composite Layers*** – once active, it changes files hierarchical order to include *Composite* Layers. This will generate a separate layer for each of your Revit structure layers from the wall/floor/roof element you are trying to export. Framing elements that are part of the specific layer will be assigned to the respective layer in the export file. * ***Export as one file*** – once active, allows you to combine a few framing assemblies into one file to assemble them on the table simultaneously. Frames will appear side by side in a line, and will be touching one another except "Clear Spacing" offset is more than 0. * ***Unit Rounding*** – here, you can enter how many decimal points you want values to have in the export file. * ***Clear Spacing*** – here, you can enter the distance between the different assemblies if the "Export as one file" option is used. *** ### Choose your next page: {% content-ref url="/pages/h0tBh97VdpodVZlawKV0" %} [Export Settings](/design-data-management-and-exchange/cnc-exporters/btl-exporter/user-interface/export-setup-window/export-settings.md) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/oSnuaC1SB5wpnam5mPTP" %} [Advanced Setup Configuration](/design-data-management-and-exchange/cnc-exporters/btl-exporter/user-interface/export-setup-window/advanced-setup-configuration.md) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/59OAO9urPOxCd9v37Cl7" %} [Advanced Setup window](/design-data-management-and-exchange/cnc-exporters/btl-exporter/user-interface/advanced-setup-window.md) {% endcontent-ref %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
