② Asset Library Introduction
============================

The asset library in the Custom Modeling tool mainly consists of two categories: Model Library and Material Library.  

Models from the Model Library can be imported directly onto the canvas, or into the SU (SketchUp) model. Once imported, these models can be customized and edited.
