	PanelForge can export using both the 'Ogawa' (Default) and the 'HDF5' (Legacy) Alembic compression formats. The 'Ogawa' format should be used where supported but, some older version of third-party software may only support 'HDFS' format.

			The 'Alembic' tab of the [[Export]] dialog window provides the options to export the Projects Panel's Stage elements as an animated 3D geometry cache. Any 3D geometry assets are baked into the single cache file. Where Stage objects exist over multiple Panels in sequence these elements will be animated in the exported geometry cache file.

			====File Type====

			PanelForge can export using both the 'Ogawa' (Default) and the 'HDF5' (Legacy) Alembic compression formats. The 'Ogawa' format should be used where supported but, some older version of third-party software may only support 'HDFS' format.


			====Export Panel Camera====

			Whether to export the Stage 'Panel Camera' in Alembic animation cache.


			====Visibility 'Zero Scale' Workaround====

			A workaround for software which does not support the import of the 'object visibility' attribute (see above). The Object scale will instead be animated to zero, in effect hiding the object from view.
