This panel shows model asset properties organized into separate tabs.
- Meshes - properties of every model Level Of Detail (LOD). This includes LOD triangles/vertices stats, bounds, material slot binding for meshes and option to isolate or highlight mesh.
- Skeleton - skeleton nodes and bones hierarchy. Blend Shapes preview.
- Materials - list of material slots used by this model.
- UVs - model texture coordinate channels debug visualizer including lightmap UVs.
- Import - model import options (restored from last import). You can modify them and press Reimport button to update the asset from the source image file
You can use it to modify the asset, view the model info (triangles, vertices, bones amount), or reimport it from the source asset. Because this panel contains a lot of content it has been split into several groups so by clicking on a given group header bar (eg. Skeleton) it will pop up its contents.
