DatasmithSDK library files are missing

I’m trying to use the Datasmith SDK and part of the setup guide says to add the following library directory for the linker:

Engine\Binaries\Win64\DatasmithSDK

and then to add DatasmithSDK.lib as an additional library directory.

The issue is that there is no DatasmithSDK directory inside Engine\Binaries\Win64. And there’s also no DatasmithSDK.lib inside the entire engine.

It also says my application will need to load the Engine\Binaries\Win64\DatasmithSDK\DatasmithSDK.dll file. But that also doesn’t exist either.

I am not sure the doc is up to date and that you can use an engine from the launcher.
I would download the full engine from github and rebuild the DatasmithSDK program so you get the lib and dll.

Why do you need the Datasmith SDK? Are you making your own custom datasmith exporter?

Yes, I’m trying to make my own exporter.

I downloaded the engine from github. Are you saying all I have to do is build the engine and the lib and DLL files will appear inside Engine\Binaries\Win64\DatasmithSDK?

I think you can just open the solution but just build the DatasmithSDK project (not the full UE5). It should build the related dependencies.

That solved it. Thanks.
