# How to Import 3D Objects/Images to a Hytale Server

Learn how to import custom 3D objects and images into a Hytale server! 

Hytale gives Creative Mode players some seriously powerful tools, including the ability to import custom 3D objects and images directly into the world. These files are converted into blocks, letting you build things that would be nearly impossible by hand, like massive statues, detailed structures, or pixel-perfect images.

As long as you’re running a Hytale server and have access to Creative tools, you can import your own files and place them anywhere in the world.

## Requirements:

Before getting started, make sure:

- Your server is online.
- You are connected to the server.
- You are in Creative Mode.

Import tools are only available while in Creative Mode.

**Note: Imports do not currently work on the pre-release version of Hytale. ⚠️**

## Importing 3D Objects

Imported 3D models must be in **.obj** format.

1. Navigate to your Nodecraft Dashboard.
2. Click the **Panel** button for your Hytale server.
3. Locate and click **Server Files** in the menu on the left side.
4. Open the /imports/models folder.

  1. If you do not have a /imports/models folder:
  2. Click the **New Folder** button.
  3. Name the folder imports and click **Create**.
  4. Open the newly created imports folder, then click **New Folder** again.
  5. Name the folder models and click **Create**.
5. Upload the model .obj file to this folder by dragging-and-dropping or the **Upload** button.
6. **Launch** Hytale.
7. **Join** your server.
8. Open your inventory, then click **Creative Tools** at the top.
