### My Question

It looks to me:

Both **open3d_find_package_3rdparty_library** and **open3d_import_3rdparty_library** can load libraries ...

**find_package** is looking for exisiting (system-installed) packages, while
**import** is to download 3rd-party libraries?

Anyway, can anybody help to confirm this??

Thank you ..
