On the right-hand side of the dialogue window, you can specify the export options. These settings can be pre-set in the Configuration Editor at Interfaces > General 3-D interfaces. Via the symbol Apply parameters from Configuration Editor, the default specified in the Configuration Editor can be set at any time.

Please note:

Saving the drawing as a 3D DXF approximation with the 3D-DXF (Approx.) function (via Drawing > Save/Print... > Save as > Further... > 3D-DXF (Approx.) only outputs a faceted representation, not a complete geometry file! If an approximative 3D DXF file is saved, it is automatically stored in the \Szenen\-directory of HiCAD installation.
