## Illustrator Export

### Output

Parameter ID: `TUAIEXPORT_OUTPUTSIZE`

### Width

Parameter ID: `TUAIEXPORT_OUTPUTSIZE_WIDTH` · Range: [8..2147483647]

### Height

Parameter ID: `TUAIEXPORT_OUTPUTSIZE_HEIGHT` · Range: [8..2147483647]

This is the output resolution. You can choose the editor resolution, renderer resolution or a custom resolution (enter the custom resolution into the **Width** and **Height** boxes).

### Z Order

Parameter ID: `TUAIEXPORT_ZSORT`

The ordering for the polygons/objects for export.

### Scale

Parameter ID: `TUAIEXPORT_SCALE` · Range: [0..1000%]

This scales the line thickness for the vector export.

### Layers

Parameter ID: `TUAIEXPORT_LAYERS`

> **Tip:** Tip:This option flattens the polygons/lines so that if you then export an animation to layers it can easily be exported to SWF with each layer as a frame.

Disable the **Layers** option to flatten the export (the animation will then only have frames as layers).

### Export

Parameter ID: `TUAIEXPORT_EXPORTLINES`

### Export

Parameter ID: `TUAIEXPORT_EXPORTSURFACE`

Enable these option to export lines and surfaces.

### Opacity

Parameter ID: `TUAIEXPORT_LINEOPACITY`

### Thickness

Parameter ID: `TUAIEXPORT_LINETHICKNESS`

### Patterns

Parameter ID: `TUAIEXPORT_LINEPATTERNS`

Enable these options to export the line opacity, thickness and patterns.

### Connections

Parameter ID: `TUAIEXPORT_LINECONNECTIONS`

Enable this option to allow export of strokes (i.e. connected line segments). If the option is disabled, the strokes will be exported as individual line segments.

### Subdivide Polygons

Parameter ID: `TUAIEXPORT_POLYSUBDIV`

This option is useful for improving the textured look of the surfaces. It works by subdividing the polygons on export.

### Divisions

Parameter ID: `TUAIEXPORT_POLYSUBDIV_LEVEL` · Range: [1..8]

The **Divisions** value defines the number of subdivisions.

### Backface Cull

Parameter ID: `TUAIEXPORT_BACKFACECULL`

Enable this option to prevent backfaces from being exported. Otherwise backfaces will be included in the export.

### Overfill

Parameter ID: `TUAIEXPORT_OVERFILL`

Enable the **Overfill** option to reduce gaps in the vector export between polygons.

### Shading

Parameter ID: `TUAIEXPORT_SHADING`

Defines how the polygons are exported.

Object

**Object** mode uses the object's color as defined on the object's **Basic Properties** tab in the **Attribute** manager.

Uniform

**Uniform** mode uses the color of the object's first material.

Facetted

**Facetted** mode will sample the center texture color for each polygon.

### Export

Parameter ID: `TUAIEXPORT_ANIMATION`

Enable the **Animation** option to export animation.

### Output As

Parameter ID: `TUAIEXPORT_ANIMTYPE`

The **Output As** setting controls whether the animation is saved as multiple files or as multiple layers (a combined layer per animation frame).

### Frames

Parameter ID: `TUAIEXPORT_FRAMES`

### Start

Parameter ID: `TUAIEXPORT_FRAME_START`

### End

Parameter ID: `TUAIEXPORT_FRAME_END`

### Frame Rate

Parameter ID: `TUAIEXPORT_FRAME_RATE` · Range: [1..2147483647]

Set **Frames** to All to export all frames in the animation, to **Render** to export the frames specified on the **Render Settings / Output** tab, or to Manual and enter a custom start frame, end frame and frame rate into the **Start**, **End** and **Frame Rate** boxes.
