For example, if you import as a single mesh a file named window_parts.obj, all separate objects in the OBJ file are combined into a single editable mesh object named "window_parts". [file info] Just above the list of objects in the file, appearing as read-only fields, are the name of the OBJ file and the total number of faces in the file. [object list] The objects in the imported OBJ file appear in this scrolling list. Each entry consists of an object name and the number of faces in the object, plus a check box to the left of the object name for enabling and disabling import per object. By default, import is enabled for all objects in the file. To toggle import for an individual object, click its check box in the list. You can also use the controls at the bottom of the list to enable and disable import (see following). All/None/Invert Use these buttons to modify the state of the import enable/disable check boxes. All enables all objects in the list; None disables all objects; Invert reverses the state of each check box. [text field] Enter search phrases with wild cards into the editable text field to the right of the Invert button to enable only objects that satisfy the search criteria. For example, to enable all list items whose names start with "Sphere", enter sph*. You can also use the standard search character ? to represent a single character. For example, to enable all four-character names starting with "Box", use the search string box?. Geometry group Flip ZY-axis When on, transfers all Y-axis values to the Z axis and vice-versa. Use this when importing from Poser and other programs that use Y as the vertical axis and Z as the depth axis. Center Pivots Positions the pivot of each imported object at its center. When off, the pivots are positioned at the world center: (0,0,0). Shapes/Lines Enables import of splines. Texture coordinates When on, texture coordinates are loaded from the imported file, if present, and associated with the geometry. Smoothing groups When on, the information about color transitions between groups is loaded. See Viewing and Changing Smoothing on page 403. Object Scale Determines the scaling for the contents of the OBJ file on import. The default value of 1.0 means no scaling is performed. Wavefront (OBJ, MTL) Files | 7287
