Note: In Maya LT, any unsupported nodes in an imported file are removed from the scene as it loads. For example, animation layers aren't supported in Maya LT, so any content organized on layers is merged, and the animation layers are removed on import.
If you open or import a Maya scene with file references, all referenced objects are automatically imported into the scene.
To import data from a file into the scene
- Select File > Import, then browse to select the file and click Import.
- (Optional) To set file format import options, either use the Options panel in the Import browser, or select File > Import > to open the Import Options.
