Helix 3D Toolkit - An object reference is required for the non-static field

Question

I'm trying to load a 3d model into WPF's 3d view using

Model3DGroup groupLoad = HelixToolkit.Wpf.ModelImporter.Load("C:\\Users\\x\\Desktop\\sc.3ds");

Yet it throws me

An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'HelixToolkit.Wpf.ModelImporter.Load(string)'

any idea what could be wrong?

Thanks

Apparently ModelImporter.Load is not a static method. Hence you would have to create a ModelImporter instance first:

var importer = new HelixToolkit.Wpf.ModelImporter();
var groupLoad = importer.Load("C:\\Users\\x\\Desktop\\sc.3ds");
