Update a model

If you make any changes to an imported model in its original modeling package, these changes are not made to the model you imported into your Autodesk® Showcase™ software scene until you request to reload the model.

The Import Status window provides a Conversion Status column that indicates those models that were updated since they were loaded into the software.

When you re-import a model,

You can keep any of the transformations you may have applied to it in Autodesk Showcase.
If the model was moved, scaled, or rotated in its original modeling software, these transformations are also applied on re-import.
You don’t need to apply zero transforms to the original model (to bake its transformations) before re-importing it.
