### Default Classes

> [!NOTE]
> **Arma 3:** **AddOns:** Classes need to be initialised first with `class SomeClass;`
>
> ---
>
> **Missions:** Since Arma 3 v2.02 one can use `import SomeClass;` to initialise a class (see the [import](../topics/import_~28Config~29.md) keyword).
>
> In older versions, use `"Default" call BIS_fnc_exportGUIBaseClasses;` and paste the result into the [description.ext](../topics/Description.ext.md).
