Updating is done at the XRef record level: all objects, transforms, and materials from a single XRef record are updated at the same time.

The XRef Merge dialog appears. 3 Pick the object to use as a proxy. When you have picked the proxy object, the Enable toggle should turn on. 4 Turn on Use In Rendering to use the proxy object in renderings.

This button is not available if all of the objects in the source file have already been added to the XRef record. The XRef Merge dialog appears. 3 Highlight the objects that you want to add as XRefs, and then click OK. 6940 | Chapter 23 Managing Scenes and Projects
