To auto-replace Materials with the Dataprep feature, right-click in Context Browser and add a Dataprep object:
Do this BEFORE you import a Datasmith file into your project. This does not work with Direct Link.
Create a Substitution Table like this:
Fill out the table rows. The critical parts are the second column; here, it matches the Sketchup materials in my model, and the last column matches the name and file path of the UE5 Material to replace each one with.
Click Import to load your Datasmith file in the Preview window; click Execute to preview-replace materials, then click Commit. It will load the Datasmith file into your project, replacing (Sketchup / modeling software’s) materials with the UE5 ones!
