Hello, I try to import model with different groups, I would like to animate them independantly. When I export my model (I try dae, fbx, obj) and import in D5, there is just one object, none groups or children. I’m missing something ? What’s wrong in my process ?
Thanks for your help !
Could you please let us know which 3D software you are exporting from? And provide a screenshot showing how the model appears in D5 after import.
Also please ensure each group is exported as a separate object/mesh and check the imported model in D5’s object list to confirm that groups appear separately before animating. Thank you.
Hello, I use VectorWorks and Maya. From VW, I export in fbx, collada and obj. When I import in D5, always one object in object list without groups or children. So I import files in Maya to verify that my files are composed of multiple objects, that’s true. I export from Maya, two scenes, one with my VW scene and another with few cubes created directly in maya. Files format are fbx. But when I import in D5, always the same… I don’t understand if I made a mistake or if I forgottent steps in import process.
Here is differents steps :
My very basic scene in VW 2026
When I sync with d5, I can’t find export options as in Sketchup or Rhino.
Export to FBX from VW 2026
Export to Collada from VW 2026
Import in D5
Imported list
Object List (no children, no groups, just one element !)
Options on object
The same with vwx file, fbx file or dae file…
Here is the different files (vwx, fbx and dae)
