    Import CAD

    To import a CAD model, follow these steps:

    1. From the Toolbox menu, click Import CAD.

    2. Select the source file to import.

      A new CAD Importer Scriptable Object script with the name of the source file is created in the 3DModels folder, and automatically focused in the Inspector. It stores the link to the source file and the import parameters.

    3. From the Inspector, parameterize the model import:

      • From the Model tab, define the Import CAD parameters.

        In the import process, this is the step where the raw source model is converted into an optimized 3D asset, using the magic of Pixyz technology!

      • Optionally: from the Rule Engine tab, define or create a Rule Set.

        Using the Rule Engine tab, it's possible to create and/or define a Rule Set that will be executed in the global import process, after the Model import step. It allows to automate the data preparation of your model straight from the ingestion step, and is especially useful when you need to reimport your source model as it evolves.

      • Optionally: from the LOD tab, add LOD rules to generate LODs.

        LODs can be generated directly during the model import process, as a final step. The parameterization is the same as what is possible with LOD Generator.

    4. Click Import.

      When the import is finished, a prefab is created in the 3DModels folder along the scriptableObject

    Reimport

    After import, you can reimport the model at any time:

    1. Select the CAD Importer Scriptable Object script of the model.
    2. Optionally, modify the import parameters.
    3. Click Re-import.
