## About this Block

**What it does:**
The export lattice block exports lattice structures to other software. Export lattice allows exports to be in Lattice Graph Interchange Module (LTCX) and 3MF (3MF) format.

**Common uses:**

* Exporting lattices for use in alternative software or other instances of nTop.

**Tips:**

* For information on all import/export file types: ([https://support.ntopology.com/hc/articles/360048249514](https://support.ntopology.com/hc/articles/360048249514))
* For an overview of lattice exportation: ([https://support.ntopology.com/hc/articles/360048784874](https://support.ntopology.com/hc/articles/360048784874))
* Be sure to specify the units to export the lattice successfully.
