5. Click Export to export the data. A set of XML files (one per mobile mapping run) is created. All the XML format files reside in a subfolder under the project folder. By default, the created sub-folder is named according to the project name, but you can give a different name at the export.Note: You do not need to wait until the generation of cubical images is finished to able to export.
