Hi, I imported a few files and modified them. The modified files are saved in, I assume, the Shapr3d cloud? I now want to import them into a new file (to create an assembly), but when I click File-\>Import to Current Project it will only open a folder on my computer.

How do I get it to open the cloud folder and so I can choose from the saved files?

tx.

You can’t import it directly. You have to save it as a .shapr, .step, or .x\_t file first. Once saved, you’ll be able to import it into another project.
