The directives that are processed by the COLLADA writer are listed below. The suffixes shown are prefixed by the current <WriterKeyword>_ in a mapping file. By default, the <WriterKeyword> for the COLLADA writer is COLLADA.
DATASET
The value for this directive is the path to the output folder. If the output folder does not exist, the writer will create a new folder.
An output .dae file will be created for each feature type within the specified folder.
For example, if you are writing feature types house and barn to
dataset c:\data\collada
then you will have files
c:\data\collada\house.dae
and
c:\data\collada\barn.dae
Feature type fanout is supported in Workbench.
