Exclude from import

Hey All,

I was just wondering if it is possible to tell unity somehow to NOT import certain objects from a blend file.
This is because I might have lights, cameras and helper objects that are saved with the blend file but that I don’t want in unity.
If this is not possible, then I would like to make a request for it as I think it would be a very handy feature for lots of people and it would probably be very easy to implement. Could be as easy as unity skipping objects with a certain prefix in the object name.

Unity doesn’t actually import .blend files at all, but instead launches Blender in the background and makes it export to .fbx. Things like lights don’t transfer; cameras show up as transforms. You can choose to drag in only the meshes you want, and unreferenced assets are not included in your build anyway.
