Why do independent parts in modeling software become one entity in D5 after syncing/importing?

PreviousPlease install the latest version of D5 Render, if you have already installed the latest version.NextHow to re-import/replace models and keep the materials modified in D5?

Currently the model is imported into D5 as a whole and relies on the materials to differentiate.

It is recommended to differentiate the materials in the modelling software before importing the model into D5.
