   NoteYou can resize the Open Options dialog box.

   The Open Options dialog box consists of the following areas:

   • Assets area
   • Takes area
   • Settings area
   • Namespace area
3. Disable any elements of the file you do not want to load with the file.
4. Activate Apply Namespace if you want to prepend a namespace to objects included in the incoming file.
5. Click Open to open the selected .fbx file and load the selected assets, settings, and takes.
6. If there are objects, models, or other elements already in your scene, the Save Changes dialog box appears confirming that you want to replace your scene with the file you are loading.
