The PSA importer creates [Actions](https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/animation/actions.html) for each of the selected sequences in the PSA. These actions can be applied to your armature via the [Action Editor](https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/editors/dope_sheet/action.html) or [NLA Editor](https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/editors/nla/index.html).
## Why are imported PSKs too big/too small?
The PSK format, unlike other more modern formats, has no explicit or implicit unit system. Each game has its own convention as to what the base distance unit will represent. As such, this addon makes no assumptions as to the unit scale of the imported PSKs. If you think that your models are being imported into Blender either too big or too small, there are a couple ways to remedy this.
The method I prefer is to simply change the Blender [scene properties](https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/4.4/scene_layout/scene/properties.html#units) to match the unit system and scale for the game you're using. This is non-destructive and ensures that the actual raw unit scaling of any PSK or PSA exports from Blender will match the source file from which it was derived.
The second option is to simply change the `Scale` value on the PSK import dialog. This will scale the armature by the factor provided. Note that this is more destructive, but may be preferable if you don't intend on exporting PSKs or PSAs to a game engine.
## Why are the mesh normals not accurate when importing a PSK extracted from [UE Viewer](https://www.gildor.org/en/projects/umodel)?
If preserving the mesh normals of models is important for your workflow, it is *not recommended* to export PSK files from UE Viewer. This is because UE Viewer makes no attempt to reconstruct the original [smoothing groups](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoothing_group). As a result, the normals of imported PSK files will be incorrect when imported into Blender and will need to be manually fixed.
There is an open pull request to add support for exporting explicit normals from UE Viewer in the future: https://github.com/gildor2/UEViewer/pull/277.
