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.

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:

  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.
