Runtime import of CAD files - Datasmith

Hello Everyone,

Disclaimer: I am a software developer with no experience in Unreal Engine/Any other 3D engines (I do have experience with C++/Python etc.). So please, be patient. Iā€™m a newbie :slight_smile:

I am evaluating different 3D engines for a project similar to a house/car configurator in which I would like to import a CAD model at runtime and visualize/edit it in a 3D environment (UE).

To my knowledge, Datasmith allows the loading of CAD files with several formats. My question is whether I can use Datasmith or alternatives for a runtime importing of such files, in order to arrange them in a scene.

Thank you
