hi all, i have a question

I'm currently writing a custom importer for a rather obscure file format and I've come across the MeshUtility.Optimize API.

The question is, does the asset pipeline do it automatically or do I have to call it myself after extracting data from the file and creating my Mesh? The documentation is ambiguous in this case, since it's "procedurally generated" (read from a file and constructed in code) but still kinda using the import pipeline.

Can somebody with internal knowledge clarify this?
