### 6. User defined groups

To exclude specific groups from the AGS export, check the *User defined groups* option.

### 7. Execute the Export

Once you have made your selections, click the *Execute* button to perform the AGS export.

## Additional Options

### Export Object to separate AGS files

By selecting this option, an AGS file will be created for each object.

### Select coding standard

If you need to export according to a specific coding standard, choose your desired standard from the drop-down menu. Ensure that a lithological description according to the selected coding standard is available within the object. By default, the first encountered coding standard will be used.
