public static void SetMainObject(Object mainObject, string assetPath)

Parameters

mainObject

Object
The object to become the main object.

string
Path to the asset file.

All other objects in the asset become children of the main object. NOTE: This function modifies the importer object, not the asset itself. The next import reflects the change in the imported asset.
