+=== 3. Synchronize data between SketchUp and Actif3D ===
+After first time exporting to Actif3D, you may continue changing some parts of the original model in SketchUp.
+By default, all exported data will bee updated in Actif3D every time you re-import the scene in **Update** type.
+However, you may also want to change some object attributes of the model directly in Actif3D and want to keep the changes from overwriting through next export time. Actif3D allows you to do that, by marking the attributes are "broken" from the synchronization.
+For example, in order to change the Opacity of a materials, you need to first unlock the imported opacity value by clicking the 🔗 icon in the Materials setting window. This will unlink this value from the original SketchUp settings.
