While adding a MotionView MDL, the collaboration tool parser reads in the .mdl file to identify the type of .mdl file. This information is stored as metadata for the MDL content and displayed in the dialog as well as the Properties tab. The following table lists metadata for different types of MotionView MDL.

These metadata can be used to query and to filter while selecting or opening the .mdl file.
