Importing datasmith from Vectorworks 23

Prod360LLC · March 2, 2023, 2:27am

(I’m new to this) Attempting to import a 2023 Vectorworks drawing (exported as unreal data smith) into new project in unreal. ** I have plugins datasmith CAD importer and data smith importer active **. When I try to import the file, it shows as greyed out and not an option to import. Any help would be appreciated.

Can you show us what is greyed out? You cannot import any .udatasmith file?
Which version of UE are you using?

So sorry. I should’ve been more specific. After exporting the datasmith file from Vectorworks the datasmith file shows as grayed out (not an option to import) when I try to import into unreal.

I am still not sure I understand where it is greyed out.
When you import, you will get an explorer window to pick a file. Either the file extension is in the list or it is not. There are no greying out there. Are you speaking about another window?
