Export to OBJ Technique

In FreeCad:

  • Make sure your units are set to standard
    • Edit -> Preferences
    • Units Tab: select standard from the dropdown
  • Select items to export on project tree
  • File-> Export or Ctrl+E
  • Select Wavefront OBJ - Arch Module .obj
  • Save

Your file will export with an .mtl file that tells other programs what materials the objects are in. If you export an assembly, the obj file will contain the separate assembly items.

If using A2+ workbench, set colors in the A2+ Assembly File and they will translate into the .obj file.

In Blender:

  • File -> Import
  • Import the file.
