illustrator pattern tile to svg

[tootsweet20]

hi

i'm trying to save a pattern from illustrator as an SVG file so that i can use it in a 3D modelling programme but it when i open the pattern in the 3D programme, it says that the file is corrupt. i am using a vector pattern file, is there anything i need to do to the pattern tile?

thanks

Have you actually expaned it to full outlines and cleaned up the resulting paths and layer structure?

You can try this method and export the single tile as SVG with Use Artboards option checked.
