If I drill down and select a component of the ship such as the hull I can now Export -3d Model but of course I only get that part.
How do I export the entire model please?

I don't think you can export an single node, you can export the 'raw' node which will only contain the header values. But you can export the entire dat file which is rather useless because you would have to remove a lot of nodes afterwards, so I don't see how useful it is.
What you must do is: Instead of exporting / importing, first you define child values, then you can copy-paste from another open file and adjust the index and parent numbers. That's what I did when adding torpedos to a playable ship.
