Is there a way to force "Reimport" to show options?

Sometimes, when I re-import something, I want to change some of the import options. I can see this being very useful with the FBX pipeline for example. Is there any way to do this right now?

The only way I found is to manually reimport that FBX with Import button in content browser panel. It will bring import dialog that you need.

I figured there was an “Import Options” rollout as part of the Skeletal Mesh properties which is even better than the “Reimport with Options” feature I am talking about.

There is. But in some cases you will not able to change some specific options. For example Import Uniform Scale is available ONLY in import dialog. I don’t know why they did that way but this is how it works.

and where are the import options ?

There is an option in Edit>Editor Preferences … In the Miscellaneous section of GENERAL there is an option : ‘‘Show Import Dialog at Reimport’’ in the Import Section :slight_smile:

Right there

Excellent! just the thing I needed… Thanks!

  1. This should be on by default, yet isn’t.

Does anyone know if this setting exists in UE5? I can’t seem to find it!

Exists.
Make sure you are in Preferences, not Project Settings.

it is “Show Reimport Dialog” in Project settings

this is so bloody retarded to have to search for this
