Import Selected
Loads the weight data stored in the SKIN folder into the selected polygon mesh.
Armature parameters such as names and properties are also loaded at the same time.


Export Selected
If an "Armature" modifier exists in the selected polygon mesh, the modifier's name and weight data are saved and saved externally.
The armature's parameters "name and properties" are also written out at the same time.
SKIN" is created in the same directory as the scene data, .blend, and "object name.sw" is saved.

If you have not saved the data you are working with, a "SKIN" directory will be created in the Blender installation folder. The skin weight files will be placed there.
