## Export Asset

Saves the selection as Unity Mesh `.asset` files. This format is only readable in Unity.

## Export Obj

Exports the selected object(s) as `.obj` files (Wavefront OBJ format). This is a widely supported model format. It supports multiple Textures and Mesh groups.

## Export Ply

Exports the selected object(s) as `.ply` files (Stanford PLY, or Polygon File Format). This format is generally supported and very extensible. It supports quads and vertex colors, but not multiple materials.

## Export Stl Ascii

Exports the selected object(s) as ASCII `.stl` files (stereolithography, standard tessellation, or standard triangle format). This is a widely supported format, generally used in CAD software or 3D printing. It only supports Triangle geometry.

## Export Stl Binary

Exports the selected object(s) as Binary `.stl` files (stereolithography, standard tessellation, or standard triangle format). This is a widely supported format, generally used in CAD software or 3D printing. It only supports Triangle geometry.
