## 9.1. Importing Meshes

Meshes are imported via the Import Mesh dialog box, which is accessible in several ways:

- By selecting File > Import > Mesh

- By right-clicking the `Mesh` branch in the tree view and selecting Import Mesh from the shortcut menu

- By selecting Browse when setting the filename for a mesh (for example, in Turbomachinery mode).

You can multi-select mesh files by holding the Ctrl key while you click the filenames.

Import options may appear on the Import Mesh dialog box, depending on the type of mesh being imported. Some common import options are described next. Other options that are specific to particular mesh formats are discussed in Supported Mesh File Types.
