This might be OT, or missing in Derelict's Assimp bindings, I'm not sure.

The aiPostProcessSteps.RemoveComponent flag signals that I want Assimp to skip importing certain components.
But where/how do I specify these?

The docs only mention http://assimp.sourceforge.net/lib_html/config_8h.html#afc0a4c00fb90c345eb38fe3f7d7c8637
which is less than helpful..

--
uint flags = aiPostProcessSteps.GenNormals;
flags |= aiPostProcessSteps.RemoveComponent;
// And now for the components?

auto scene = aiImportFile(path, flags);
--

Any ideas?

I think this is a question more likely to be answered in whatever Assimp community is out there. If it turns out there is a function missing from the Derelict binding, I'll be happy to add it. I have no knowledge of the usage of the Assimp API, though.

I'm not sure what the problem is here. Just as the docs say, you have to set the (integer) AI_CONFIG_PP_RVC_FLAGS config option to a bitwise combination of aiComponent members.

I think the corresponding C API function is aiSetImportPropertyInteger.

I could not figure out which function was required, so that is exactly what I needed. Thanks!

Sidenote: Seems like the derelict assimp bindings are missing the constants defined in config.h.
