The installer that ran when you downloaded this app/plug-in from the Autodesk App Store will start installing the app/plug-in. OR, simply double-click the downloaded installer to install the app/plugin.

You can unload the plugin without uninstalling it by unchecking the "Load/Unload" check box associated with the plugin in the Autodesk® Alias® Plug-in Manager. You may have to restart Alias to completely unload the application.

To uninstall this plug-in, exit the Autodesk product if you are currently running it, simply rerun the installer, and select the "Uninstall" button. OR, you can uninstall it from 'Control Panel/Programs and Features' (Windows 10/11), just as you would uninstall any other application from your system.

When selecting lights or cameras, they will also be added to a new layer with their respective names.

Layers containing ungrouped surfaces will not be assigned to folders. Instead, an empty folder will be created with the layer's name.

When rerunning the plugin with existing layers and folders, a new set will be created. Make sure to delete unused layers using the "Delete Unused Layers" tool. The same applies to shaders.

If you experience performance issues in Alias after using the plugin, unload the plugin and restart your PC and Alias.

Start by using the plugin with lighter datasets before trying heavier files.

Please be aware that while the plugin aims to enhance workflow efficiency, users should use it at their own discretion. In rare cases, the plugin may cause crashes or Alias may freeze due to lack of memory.
