Share xStar Data and Models
Learn about how to share data and models between xStar projects to enable collaboration.
Sharing and Saving xStar Data
Import Existing Project
Users can import a previously saved *.xsb file containing xStar assemblies and designs by selecting Import from the File menu. This allows users to view and compare designs from different xStar/Revit projects.
If the same assembly or design is changed in both projects, the latest changes are applied during the import.
Export Data
For each design, users can export:
Quantity Takeoffs (.csv)
Line item quantities, costs, and more
REScheck Envelopes (.csv)
Building envelope surface areas, U-factors, and more
[experimental] HPXML (.xml)
Save Project
xStar designs and custom assemblies can be saved to a custom XSB (*.xsb) file using File > Save As… or File > Save. XSB files can be shared with other users. When other users open the XSB file in xStar, your design, including any referenced custom assemblies, is automatically imported.
