Choose a category that supports the desired behavior.įor example, if you want the geometry to define a boundary for a room or space, select a category that is room-bounding, such as Walls, Floors, or Ceilings. The assigned category determines behavior for the shape. Some categories are not supported for imported 3D shapes. The dialog lists the supported categories.

Specify the category for the imported geometry.
