# How do I prevent overlapping model textures in Unreal Engine?

**Problem:**

When using Unreal Engine and importing multiple Meshy models directly into the same UE folder, there is the issue of overlapping textures due to the names of the files.

**Solution:**

1. Create a new folder in Unreal and then import the model.

2. Create a subfolder under the Content folder and then import the model into the subfolder.

3. Create a new subfolder each time you import a model.

- It is recommended to use our Unreal Engine Plugin. Through our UE bridge plugin, the model will automatically create a new folder for import, and there will be no problem with texture cross-use.
