• Drag a node from the preset manager. For more information about using the preset manager, see The Preset Manager [Interface and Tools].
• Select an item from the Nodes menu.
• Choose Compounds > Import Compound to select an .xsicompound file.
• Drag an .xsicompound file from a Softimage file browser or from a folder window of your operating system.
• Drag an element from an explorer into the ICE tree view to add a pre-filled Get Data node. For more information, see Getting Data.
