I have built a UE 5.3.2 from source, while I need to package dedicated server.
This build seems to have missing translators for CAD import, because those cannot be distributed due some legal issues. Is it possible to add those as binaries from precompiled UE?
If not, is it possible to build my client version of app in Precompiled UE and server version in Source UE?
Which CAD plugin? Datasmith CAD Importer?
I think my issue is related to Interchange framework. But of course datasmith doesn’t work either. (allows only udatasmith files)
My issue can be replicated very simply by dragging cad part to content browser. In source UE it says unknown extension. On precompiled UE it imports an asset without an issue. Tested on Catia part/assembly and also on step files.
This all won’t be as big problem while I can import fbx, but now I need to use runtime import in packaged app and it should take ideally CAD directly because customer doesn’t want to convert files.
Yes you will probably need to copy most of the dll files that are in \Engine\Plugins\Enterprise\DatasmithCADImporter\Binaries\Win64\ and the TechSoft subfolder.
At least all dll that were not generated when your rebuilded from source.
