- Check **DATA IMPORT** view for new information
- Can also turn the model on in the **CONTROL** view to see the location of the new data

## **1.2 Importing with Drag and Drop**

One of the features in 12d Model is that 12d Model can also be used to drag and drop data into a project from 12d Synergy.

From 12d Synergy Client

For known file types, 12d Model will open the appropriate reader panel to import the data.

## **1.3 Export to a 12d Synergy Folder Via the Working Folder**

You may wish to export data from a 12d Model project, i.e. a .12daz file, and store it in a separate folder within 12d Synergy, possibly for publishing to an external party.

From the 12d Model project **DESIGN HIGHWAY**

- **File→Data Output→12d archive data**

The file is now written to the working folder of the project.

To locate that file into a 12d Synergy folder
