# 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.

| 5. | Click Accept.
