* If the file is an assembly file, you need to take an additional step to prepare it for Vertex as a .zip, .7z, .tar, .tar.gz, or .gz file. This is so Vertex can properly import all of the data included in an assembly file.
** JT and NX files can be either assembly files or single files. If it’s a shattered JT assembly or an NX assembly, prepare it for Vertex as a .zip, .7z, .tar, .tar.gz, or .gz file. If it's a monolithic JT assembly, do not package it: you can import it now.
