In CityEngine, you can import files into a scene in the following ways:
- In the Navigator window, right-click and select Import.
- From the main menu, click File > Import.
In contrast to dragging a file to import, each import format presents a file dialog box with additional options.
Depending on the file format, the following table shows the resulting layer type when importing in CityEngine:
