Learning Swift™ Programming

Importing the Assets

Now you are ready to bring your COLLADA into Xcode. It’s easiest if you open this directory in your Finder to do this:

1. Open Finder and navigate to your project. (For example, my project is located in ~/projects/SwiftStacker/.)

2. Open the SwiftStacker/art.scnassets/ directory.

3. Delete your current assets as you will not be using them for this tutorial.
