Hi, I try the Export Spreadsheet and Export Scene, but all these tools save the full spreadsheet, is there anyway to save only specific columns in the spreadsheet view (like the coordinates of points)? Thanks!

Ying,

You may want to user the “Pass Array” filter and check the arrays/columns you would like to save. Then export the spreadsheet of the output of this filter.

HTH,

Hi @Ying

You can also select the visibility of columns directly in the spreadsheet, by using the button a few spaces before the export spreadsheet button.

Best,
