This plugins is intended to import geometry from ESRI shape files. This is a very early version that imports only polygon shapes into a ShpFileAsset, that can be used to generate ProceduralMeshComponents.
This plugin uses GeoReference, SpatialGeometryTools, UnrealGDAL, ue4cli and conan-ue4cli to build and manage the required GDAL libraries.
- Download a Release of UnrealGDAL and place it in the Plugins directory or clone and follow instructions to build UnrealGDAL from source.
