# Importing Pre-Fractured Geometry

***

Pre-Fractured Geometry is when a model is pre-broken into pieces in a full 3D application. Pieces need to be separate objects but exported in one obj file. You can then import the obj into Element and use the Multi-Object function to separate the pieces. See [Multi-Object Mode](https://www.videocopilot.net/help/element/help_files_v2/animating_3d_objects/multi_object_mode/) for more information on animating fractured geometry.<br>
