Imports
Import compatible Python components
Imports loads compatible Plant 3D™/Python component scripts, resolves helper dependencies and can convert the imported result directly into a normal editable Designer source/Boolean tree.

Step by step
- Import one or more compatible .py scripts or a source folder.
- Resolve any paused helper dependencies in Dependency Finder.
- Select the root imported part and choose Add Editable.
- Inspect the generated editable tree and parameter bindings before modifying it.
Dependency Finder
Missing helper modules pause the import with a readable diagnostic. Add the missing files and Retry rather than restarting the entire workflow.
Add Editable
The selected imported part becomes a normal Designer boolean/source tree immediately; a separate Make Editable step is not required.
Debug
Copy Debug and Full error/traceback are intended for diagnosing wrong selection, floating helper geometry or import failures.
Keep in mind
- Keep the imported root/helper chain together. Removing helper files can make a previously valid source impossible to reconstruct.
