# play

Animations loaded from the scene file are immediately added to the scene and played once.

## Declaration

```swift
static let play: SCNSceneSource.AnimationImportPolicy
```

## Discussion

Discussion Using this policy is equivalent to manually loading each animation, setting its repeatCount property to 1, and adding it to the appropriate element of the scene.
