→Import Options
All these files uses '''''PIX''''' file extensions: '''''PIM''''' files are considered as main files containing model geometries, other extensions are '''''PIT''''' (trait data), '''''PIC''''' (colliders data), '''''PIP''''' (prefab data), '''''PIS''''' (skeleton data) and '''''PIA''''' (animation data).

The import functionality is can be found in ''Blender's'' import menu as “'''SCS Formats Game Object (.pim)''”', which opens file browser dialog and enables user to import desired SCS Game Object. Within On the file requester you right side of the dialog one can find “''SCS Import''” panelset import options by his desire.

* '''SCS Project Base Path''' - enables setting proper SCS Project Base Path prior to import with usage of ''Set Current Dir as Project Base''. Operator sets currently selected path in file browser as SCS Project Base Path (for more info see: [[../Global Settings#SCS_Project_Base_Path|SCS Project Base Path]]).* '''Scale''' - scale of imported meshes and other elements.* '''Preserve Path for Export''' - automatically sets custom export path for imported SCS Game Object, which enables you to easily export it to same place it was imported from.* '''Import Model (PIM)''' - you can turn ''Model'' file loading '''ON''' and '''OFF'''.* '''Use Normals''' - if this property is ticked, mesh will be imported with normals written in file. Otherwise normals are recalculated by Blender itself.* '''Use Welding''' - if this property is ticked, automatic vertex welding operation is performed on all imported meshes.
