Import OBJ

Modified on Mon, 9 Dec at 3:52 PM

To import an OBJ file and optionally apply a transformation, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to File > Import > OBJ
  2. Select your OBJ file and click Open
  3. In the dialog that appears: 
    • Optionally, define a transformation using the Translation, Rotation and Uniform scaling fields. 
    • To align an OBJ file with a point cloud that shares the same coordinate system, use the icon next to the Translation fields to copy the point cloud's offset vector
    • Press OK.


Materials are automatically created when an OBJ mesh file is imported along with its associated MTL file.


Avoid using spaces in MTL file names, as this will prevent materials from being imported.


See here for how to customize the display of meshes imported with OBJ files.
