Optioneer has various types of results. The way we handle exports may differ depending on the type of result you wish to export.
📈 Exporting Project Features
Description: Points, lines and polygons can be downloaded and added to other GIS apps or software.
Format: single = .geojson // multi = .geojson, shapefile, csv
Action - Single feature: In the Data window go to the list of points, lines or polygons as required. Click the three dots icon next to the line you wish to export and select 'Export'. if the centreline you wish to export only exists as a result, you will need to extract the centreline from the result first. Alternatively, interact with it via the map view and use the three-dot menu to export the .geojson.
Action - Multiple: In the Data window, navigate to the lists of points, lines or polygons. For the objects you wish to export, select the tickbox to the left of the project features and click the download arrow above the list. This will then give you the action to select a format.
.geojson or shapefile (.zip): exports the selected project features in the chosen GIS format.
.csv: exports a table of project features that are visible in your list (i.e. not filtered).
👁 Exporting Viewshed
Description: Optioneer calculates and outputs the area within which the selected route option would be visible based on structure height and surrounding topography. This may be used to identify areas of high visual impact or areas offering the potential to minimise visual impact.
Format: .geojson
Action: In the Analyze window, go to the list of selected options in the Option Selection tile. Click on a selected option to make it “active” and locate the icon visibility (circle with dot) in the left hand side toolbar. Global viewshed can be turned on here and you can use the three dot menu to export the .geojson.
🗺 Exporting Resistance Maps
Description: Resistance maps give a visual representation of the constraints impacting route options and their relative weightings.
Format: geojson
Action: In the Analyze window, go to the list of selected options in the Option Selection tile. Click on a selected option to make it “active” and locate the icon visibility (circle with dot) in the left hand side toolbar. Resistance maps can be turned on here and you can use the three dot menu to export the .geojson.
💯 Exporting Option Summary Metrics
Description: An excel sheet (or geojson with data) containing all of the parameters summarising the route. This includes total length, cost, the distance through data layers and minimum distance to constraints.
Format: .xlsx or .geojson
Action - Single: In the Analyze window go to the list of selected options in the Option Selection tile. Click the three dots icon next to the line you wish to export and select 'Export Option'. Select 'Option Metrics Excel Exporter' from the format drop-down menu. Enter a name for the document and click 'Export'.
Action - Multiple: In the Analyze Window, select all of the routes you wish to export the metrics for. Click on the 'Export Selected Options' icon in the top right-hand corner of the Option Selection tile. Select 'Multi Excel Option Metric Exporter' from the format menu and click 'Export'. Or, in the Results Library, select the options you want to export using the tick box and click the 'Export' button at the top of the table. Select 'Export selected options with full metrics'.

👉 Exporting Option Selected Summary Metrics
Description: An .csv containing the selected parameters summarising the route. This includes total length, cost, the distance through data layers and minimum distance to constraints.
The selected parameters are visible in the Analyze Window in the parameter table and in the Results Library under the Metrics tab.
Selecting the metrics is easiest in the metrics tab, as the metric names are displayed in the first column. They also appear in the order they are selected and exported.
❗️Save your selected metrics via the Saved Metrics functionality so you can recall them quickly. ❗️
Format: .csv
Action - Via the Results Library: Go to the Metrics tab in the Results Library. Select your metrics in your preferred order and click the download arrow under the search bar in the top left-hand corner.
Action - Via the Analyse Window: Go to the Analyse Window. Scroll down on the right-hand side and select the parameters you wish to view in the table. Click the download arrow in the top right-hand corner of the table.
👉 Exporting Per-Point Quantities
Description: An excel sheet containing all of the parameters at each point along the route. This includes elevation, coordinates, the distance to constraints at each point and if the point falls within a constraint.
Format: .xlsx
Action: In the Analyze window go to the list of selected options in the Option Selection tile. Click the three dots icon next to the line you wish to export and select 'Export Option'. Select 'Quantities Excel Exporter' from the format drop-down menu. Enter a name for the document and click 'Export'. See further detail here.
🛣 Exporting Crossings (and Structures) Metrics

Select 'Items Excel Exporter' from the format drop-down menu. Enter a name for the document and click 'Export'. See further detail here.
🗼Exporting Polygon Analysis
Description: A table containing all of the parameters related to overlaps and feature counts within a polygon. This can be configured to report on overlaps and feature counts within buffered zones (including the original polygon).
Format: .csv
Action: In the Analyze window go to the list of selected options in the Option Selection tile. Click the three dots icon next to the line you wish to export and select 'Analyse'.
