Exporting :ref:`Layer Files<filetypes>` from a System Optimiser project allows only the :ref:`layers<usinglayers>` displayed in the :ref:`3D View<3dview>` to be transferred into another project.

To export, open the :ref:`Layer Manager<layermanager>` and click the last button on the top bar. This will prompt a native OS window for selecting a location to save the file.
