The purpose of the import children tool is to combine two objects. You can use it to either combine spline objects or polygon objects. However, you can't mix up the two different types.
Modes
This tool only works on raw polygon or raw spline objects. It can be used to import data from parametric or creator objects.
  
The import child tool is a headless tool which means that it doesn't show up in the tool view. To use it you have to drag and drop the object which you want to import onto the object which should finally contain the data. In the picture below you can see a ball object that will be imported into a raw polygon object. Now select the parent object (in our case the polygon object called "Tube") and call the import children tool from the menu "Tools Import child". The data from the Ball object will be copied to the polygon object. You can then remove the child object or re-use it somewhere else.
