# Adjust Detail Families for Export

1/13/23, 11:44 AM ADJUST DETAIL FAMILIES FOR EXPORT : AGACAD

Modified on: Fri, 15 Jan, 2021 at 7:34 PM

**CNC Metal Exporter** analyses the frame and automatically adds needed commands (SWAGE, DIMPLE, NOTCH, LIP CUT etc) to the exported file, but you can also add different detail families to the frame, which can then be used in CNC export.

[Such families can be added manually to the frame or distributed automatically according to the rules with **Metal Framing**](https://agacad.com/products/bim-solutions/metal-framing-wall/overview)**,** [**Wall+**, **Metal Framing Floor+**](https://agacad.com/products/bim-solutions/metal-framing-floor/overview)[, **Metal Framing Roof+**](https://agacad.com/products/bim-solutions/metal-framing-roof-panel-frame/overview)[, **Cut Opening**](https://agacad.com/products/bim-solutions/cut-opening/overview)[ or **Smart Connections**.](https://agacad.com/products/bim-solutions/smart-connections/overview)

Below are mandatory type parameters which must be entered in the family:

**CNC Type** – write CNC machine name where the family will be used during the export. For example, if you use a Royal C.N.C. machine, then the **CNC Type** = **RoyalAMS\_XL206**.

The correct values may be found at the bottom of configuration file between **CNC\_Type**:

**CNC Command** – write CNC command code name that will be written to the export file.

[Here is a list of the **most popular commands >>**](https://agacad.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/44002138535-most-popular-cnc-commands)

*Example with an exported file:*

**Sample families**

Here you can find sample families which may be used in your projects:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.besmart.software/design-data-management-and-exchange/cnc-exporters/cnc-metal-exporter/revit-add-in/adjust-detail-families-for-export.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
