## Geometry

### Normals

Parameter ID: `USDIMPORTER_GEOMETRY_NORMALS`

Here you can define how Cinema 4D will handle any existing Normals in the file:

- **None**: No Normals will be imported, objects will appear faceted.
- **Vertex**: Vertex Normals will be imported using a Vertex tag.
- **Phong**: Each geometry object will contain a Phong tag.

### Phong Angle

Parameter ID: `USDIMPORTER_GEOMETRY_PHONG_ANGLE` · Range: [0..180°]

If you define **Phong** under Normal, the Phong Angle defined here will be used for the Phong tags created.

### UVs

Parameter ID: `USDIMPORTER_GEOMETRY_UV`

Activate this option if UV coordinates should be imported.

### Display Color

Parameter ID: `USDIMPORTER_GEOMETRY_DISPLAYCOLOR`

Activate this option if display colors (Basic tab) should be imported for each object.
