ModelImporter Inherits from AssetImporter

Model importer lets you modify model import settings from editor scripts.

Note: This is an editor class. To use it you have to place your script in Assets/Editor inside your project folder. Editor classes are in the UnityEditor namespace so for C# scripts you need to add "using UnityEditor;" at the beginning of the script.

Settings of this class match the ones exposed in Mesh Import Settings.
