Import model script help

[MetaUser555]

Hello there,
I have this script

import Metashape
import os

# Access the current project document
doc = Metashape.app.document

# Get the project folder and construct the export path
project_folder = doc.path
export_folder = os.path.join(project_folder, "..", "export")

# Loop through all chunks in the project
for chunk in doc.chunks:
    # Construct the model path using the chunk label
    model_path = os.path.join(export_folder, f"{chunk.label}.abc")
    model_format = Metashape.ModelFormatABC

    # Import the model into the current chunk
    chunk.importModel(model_path, format=model_format)

it runs but gives me an error, saying:
2024-10-18 16:33:45 ImportModel: path = N:/Projects/projectFiles/model.psx\..\export\model.abc, format = ModelFormatABC

can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
cheers

Hello MetaUser555,

Looks like the paths are created incorrectly in the script. Instead of project folder you have path to the project file, so as a result the export folder path is incorrect:
"N:/Projects/projectFiles/model.psx\..\export\model.abc"

Thanks Alexey!
We fixed it a different way to this so all good
As a side note, would you be able to add 'import model' to the batch process ui? It's not there but would be very useful
thanks for all the help
