how to export

hey I need to export a blender model, but when I go and click export I get a file with the name I assigned, but it has nothing. no meshes nothing. any help would be aprriciated.

What format are you trying to export to?

obj. or even 3ds wold work for me

When exporting to obj you have to be in object mode, and select all of the objects in the scene that you want to export. Then choose export->obj and make sure that in the dialog that appears, you select “selection only”.

I just tried this with a very complex multi-object model and it appears to work fine with 2.41.
