Selecting Imported Files

If an archive document or a file with the same name as the imported model already exists in Vertex, you can select which files are imported.

Dialog Box Options

When importing a project, this list is displayed if there is a project label, archive document or file with the same name as one of the imported project already exists in Vertex.
On the left side there are files found on the system with the same name as one of the project, and on the right side there is entire imported project.
Selecting Imported Files
You can select the imported files by clicking the symbol that toggles between and .
When importing a project and a label with the same name already exists, the meaning of the symbols displayed next to each other is following:
