# Download Options

## Layout DXF

The Layout DXF download option generates a .zip file saved to your Downloads. The .zip file contains two .dxf files:

* {Project Name} Layout.dxf
* {Project Name} Schedule.dxf

DXF downloads can be imported into other design applications (i.e. AutoCad, etc.) to create and finalize truss placement diagrams.

### Layout.dxf

The Layout.dxf download includes the following:

* Bearing Envelopes
* Truss Envelopes
* Planes
* Ceiling Trays
* Work Lines
* Dimensions
  * System-generated
  * User-created
* Truss Names (Labels)
* Truss-to-Truss Hanger (Connector) Callouts

Note: .dxf downloads do not currently include Chases.

### Schedule.dxf

The Schedule.dxf download includes the following:

* Truss List Schedule
* Hanger List
* Notes

## Layout IFC

The Layout IFC download option generates a .ifc file saved to your Downloads and includes 3D trusses with representing the geometry, members, and plates for Component Designs.

The IFC download can be imported into other design applications (AutoCad, Revit, etc.) to create a more comprehensive 3D building model.

Note: .ifc downloads do not currently include Hangers (Connectors).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.paragontruss.com/layout/reference/download-options.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
