Note:

• When saving the model, ensure that the extension matches the entry in the table.
• Unless the model has a *.sdy, *.mpa, *.mda or *.adv file format, only a single cavity can be imported. Multiple cavity models must be separated into single cavities before import. After import, the individual cavities can be combined into a family mold if required.
