The official articy Unreal importer reads, for each exported package, its Name, Description, IsDefaultPackage flag and Models array, and for each model its Type, AssetRef, Category, Template and the TechnicalName, Id and Parent from Properties (ids as hex strings); the remaining properties are interpreted later using the object definitions. Missing keys are tolerated silently by try-get macros, a model whose type has no generated Unreal class produces no asset, and the package's generated folder is Packages/<Name> with spaces turned into underscores, so renaming a package in articy moves its generated assets. Curator qualifications: Static reading 2026-10-22; importer not built; no export imported. Limitations: Static reading 2026-10-22; importer not built; no export imported. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
