Export Models to Unreal Engine

You can export DWG file content to the Unreal Engine environment, which allows you real-time rendering and visualization.

When you export a CAD model, the export preserves materials, lighting, and other scene elements. In Unreal Engine, you can create a visualization of the model. This includes realistic lighting, shadows, and materials that provide a more immersive experience compared with traditional static renders.

Unreal Engine offers real-time rendering capabilities for you to validate designs more effectively. By exploring a 3D model during client presentations or collaborative sessions, you gain clearer communication and understanding. Collaboration is more intuitive for you and your clients to interact with the design simultaneously.

To export models to Unreal Engine:

Do one of the following:
  • On the ribbon, click Application > Export > Export Datasmith.
  • On the menu, click File > Export > Export Datasmith.
  • Enter EXPORTDATASMITH or EXPORT in the command window.
