Can you clarify your request a bit? Do you want to save the 3D model as a WaveFront (.obj) file? If so, this is already included in ArchiCAD.

If you mean something else, please explain in greater detail.

what i am trying to do is making a button which save each floor as an obj file in a local folder, this mean that it isolate every floor at a time and save it, and the result is that i have one button that export me all the floors in one click.

You can switch between stories with APIEnv_ChangeStorySettingsID, then enumerate all elements there with ACAPI_Element_Filter(). After that, for 2D export you can use ACAPI_Element_ShapePrims, and for 3D export ACAPI_Element_Get3DInfo and its friends.

Hope this helps,
