Depending on the type of import, some of the options differ.
Import Type box Select the 3D model type to import.
File Extension field Displays the default extension for the file type selected in the Import Type box.
Smooth button Enable to build normals for the 3D model. Enable if you are importing polygons that do
not have normals.
Auto Fit In Scene button Enable to scale the imported model to fit into the current frame. When disabled,
the imported model maintains the same size in which it was created.
Mesh Animations button Enable to import the Alembic scene animations and preserve complex geometry
animations.
Cameras button Enable to import cameras from the Alembic format file.
Normal button Enable to import an Alembic model's normal information.
Separate Nodes button Enable to create individual nodes for all 3D models contained in a file. When
disabled, the 3D model is added to the scene with its own axis.
Rotate Axis button Enable to rotate the 3D model by 90 degrees on the X-axis so that it is compatible with
the target's coordinate system.
Create Media button Enable to load the textures of the geometry to the Media list. If a texture is used in
multiple geometry maps, it is loaded only once in the Media list. Not available if Action is accessed as a
Timeline FX.
