IMPORTANT:

To the columns who need a yes or no answer, you have to consider 1 for yes and 0 for no.
To define the direction of the vein in materials that have a model with vein, you must insert the column AlinhamentoVeioItem in the column of import. To indicate the direction of the vein, use vertical, horizontal or none, if there is no vein.
If the Column AlinhamentoVeioItem column was not inserted in the import, the direction of the vein will be considered the LarguraItem (item width) as dimension.
