How to re-import/replace models and keep the materials modified in D5?

PreviousWhy do independent parts in modeling software become one entity in D5 after syncing/importing?NextCan I still make a connection after changing the storage path of a model file or D5 file?

Last updated 1 year ago

Replace from local

Click the "Replace from local" button and select a model file from the local folder to replace the model in the current scene.

Reload

After the model source file has been modified and saved, click reload and D5 will automatically sync the model to be up-to-date and consistent with the source file.
