Is there some documentation on it? Where can I find it?
Limitations:
- experimental, so will be unstable
- material baking not available at runtime
- no wire, no 3dm file fomat support
- Enable “Datasmith Interchange” plugin
- Here is the code sample you need

Is there a way to use a custom pipeline with cad files similar to the asset import process?
Not yet, but the goal is to have CAD pipeline manipulation to be aligned on what you can do with asset import process.
Any update on if this is still being worked on? Our application needs to be able to import CAD at runtime which will not always be from CAD software which has a .datasmith exporter
It is still being worked on not as high priority at the moment.
You still can load datasmith runtime
You have datasmith interchange runtime too
but your need to do an import scene function.
There are still several limitations to runtime import:
- General
** no material build
** no nanite - Interchange route (schedule to be fixed)
** no collision generated
** no option to specify tessellation settings.
Hey there! It’s been a while since your last update, so I just wanted to ask if there is anything planned for the near future regarding Datasmith Runtime Import.
I for example would love to be able to import .ifc files during runtime, and also have some kind of optimization - either nanite or lods that can be generated during runtime. Is there anything planned in regards to .ifc? It would definitely save a lot of companies from writing their own plugin to convert .ifc to udatasmith → import that.
Thanks in advance.
