CityEngine allows you to import files into your scene through the following options:
- In the Navigator, right-click and select Import...
- In the main-menu, select File > Import...
In contrast to Drag and Drop import, each import format will present a file dialog with additional options.
Depending on the file format, the following list gives the resulting layer type when importing in CityEngine:
