  The Export formats are more than 3D: there are listing formats 
(BrickLink and CSV) and instructions (HTML).
  Personnaly, I don’t think modifying the Save menu (or dialog) 
to choose the format is a good idea: letting think that the 
LDraw, old-LCD and new JSON formats are somewhat equivalent is a 
mistake (where are my groups? names?…).
  I would much prefer to use Export (and even Import) for the 
old-LCD and LDraw formats, just to make it obvious that we are 
loosing info with these formats.
  Maybe the Export menu just needs to be better organized. Or 
why not have “Export model”, “Export list” and “Export 
instructions” menus?
