Importing and Exporting a Project

To import a Katana project into the current project:

1.

Select File > Import... (or press Ctrl+I).

2.

Select a Katana project from the file browser dialog (see Using the File Browser below).

3.

Click Accept.

The imported project’s nodes float with the cursor inside the Node Graph.

4.

Click somewhere within the Node Graph to place the imported project at that location.

You can also import a Katana project as a LiveGroup. For more information on LiveGroups, and for help on how to import a project as a LiveGroup, refer to the LiveGroups and LiveShadingGroups section.

Exporting from Katana gives you the ability to do the equivalent of File > Save As... but for a limited number of nodes.

To export part of the current project:

1.

Select the nodes you wish to export.

2.

Select File > Export Selection... (or press Ctrl+E).

The file browser dialog displays.

3.

Navigate to the directory to export the file.

4.

Add the filename to the text field below the main window.
