# AGS Export

GeoDin enables you to export AGS files in compliance with the AGS 4.0.4 and AGS 4.1.1 standards. AGS exports are available for the Geotechnical object type **G1 Location**, and run through the Publish and Export feature.

### Supported AGS Groups

We currently support the following AGS groups:

## Step-by-Step Guide

### 1. Select Boreholes for Export

Begin by selecting the boreholes you wish to export. You can choose from:

* **All objects**
* **Location**
* **A group**
* **A query**

### 4. Define the AGS Standard

In the export area, select the AGS standard you want to use by choosing the corresponding AED file.

### 5. Provide Details for AGS Group "TRAN"

In the *TRAN* section, enter all necessary details for the AGS group *TRAN*.

### 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.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.geodin.com/exporting-data/ags-export.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
