Scripting: Import File

Import File ^{(GUI and Headless)}

Importing models with scripting is easy:

>>> lux.importFile("/path/to/your/file.obj")

In this case we imported an OBJ file.

By default no dialog will be shown with importing options, but it can be done using the showOpts option:

>>> lux.importFile("/path/to/your/file.obj", showOpts = True)

For more advanced importing, a Python dictionary can be supplied using the opts option. An example could be to disable snap-to-ground, and not adjusting environment and camera look-at on import:

>>> opts = lux.getImportOptions()
>>> opts["snap_to_ground"] = False
>>> opts["adjust_environment"] = False
>>> opts["adjust_camera_look_at"] = False
>>> lux.importFile("/path/to/your/file.obj", opts = opts)

When updating geometry you will want to set the following options before importing:

>>> opts["import_type"] = 1
>>> opts["merge"] = True
