Can't see datasmith import button in the tool bar. It's because the project is an Unreal Project and not an Unreal Studio Project.

I couldn't see the datasmith import option. It was because I had unreal 4 install instead of unreal studio 4.

The difference is the license agreement. You have to select the enterprise license for unreal studio to use datasmith and create Unreal Studio Projects rather than Unreal 4 projects.

IMPORT SKETCHUP FILES TO UNREAL ENGINE with Datasmith

Using Unreal Studio Enterprise for Gaming:

"Part of the Unreal Studio offering, Datasmith is designed to solve the specific challenges faced by people outside of the game industry who want to use the Unreal Engine for real-time rendering and visualizations — in industries including architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturing, live training, and more. But it also may be of interest to game developers who share similar problems in their asset pipelines."

This does not mention that we cannot use unreal enterprise for video game development.
