  1. Workflow Plugins
  2. General questions

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

Last updated 6 months ago

Was this helpful?

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.
