Hi, yes that’s what I normally do with my Dataprep workflow.
However, when using Direct Link often I can’t rely on manual tweaks, sometimes Rhino workflow is based on re-generating new geometries and deleting old ones (e.g. by Grasshopper), because of that, many (if not all) geometries have different GUIDs and everything I manually setup in Unreal I need to do again.
Impatiently waiting for this! Good luck with it.
Other wishes for the Rhino Datasmith Workflow
1. Import option to merge Block geometries into Actors
It’s important for that to be an option, not a must because it has its flaws which I described here:
Because I constantly need to jump between meshes and objects like: post-process volume, SunSky actor, ExponentialHeightFog, etc. it’s extremely annoying to have outliner flooded with thousands of small objects.
On the first screenshot, you can see Revit Railing which has all the meshes put inside one Actor. This helps big time in preventing outliner from being flooded.
I think it should be an option on the Datasmith import if some elements should be imported separately (into outliner) or aggregated inside Actor.
