How to Export an ESX File

Tip: Each ESX purchase is tied to the current version of your floorplan. Once purchased, you will be able to download that version of the file. However, if you make changes to your floorplan after purchasing, a new ESX file will need to be purchased for the updated version. We recommend finalizing all floorplan edits before purchasing your ESX file.

Access your library: Open Polycam on web or in the app and navigate to your Library, where all your captures are stored.

Select a capture: Click or tap the capture you wish to export. This opens the 3D viewer where you can preview it and make any final adjustments.

Open the download menu: Click the Download button in the top right corner on web, or tap the downward arrow icon (↓) on the app.
