Embed Files

When embedding, all objects from the external file are imported directly into your scene. Once the import is complete, you can delete the original file without affecting the scene. The imported objects are organized into a dedicated folder located in the Objects tab on the left-hand side of the interface.

To embed an external file:

  • Click File menu > Import > Embed


Link Files

Linking or referencing an external file keeps the content connected to the original source file. This setup allows you to reload any changes by updating the linked file or reloading the Envision project. Keep in mind that the original file should not be deleted.

To link an external file: 

  • Click File menu > Import > Link
