Import published files

Geometry and scene files that have been published as versions in ftrack can be imported into Cinema 4D. When selecting import on a version you are presented with a list of available files that can be imported.

When a file is imported into Cinema 4D, an XRef object will be created and inserted into the active project, pointing to the version. The XRef object will have a ftrack tag with an f icon, so you can easily tell if it was imported from ftrack.

More information about importing published material can be found here.

Note

If a file is unavailable for import it means that it is not available in a storage that you are able to read from.
