Object(s) to XRefs to save out the "improved" original into a file, which then can be merged back into the original source. NOTE It is also possible to merge into the master scene nested XRef entities. Once they are merged, all externally referenced nesting levels are removed and the scene entity from the lowest level source scene is merged into the master scene. In case of XRef objects, modifiers applied in a nested source file are all merged and present in the master scene. Apply XRef Material(s) to Object(s) Applies the original, externally referenced material(s) to the highlighted objects. This can be useful if you have assigned a local material to the object (for example, to use in renderings of the master scene) and now want to restore the object's original material. It can also restore the externally referenced source material if the material was originally merged into the master scene. Apply XRef Controller(s) to Object(s) Applies the original, externally referenced controller(s) to the highlighted objects. This can be useful if you have assigned a local controller to the object (for example, to use in renderings of the master scene) and now want to restore the object's original controller. It can also restore the externally referenced source controller if the controller was originally merged into the master scene. Reset PRS Offset Sets the PRS transformation on page 3271of the XRef object to its transformation defined in the source file. NOTE You can undo this action. XRef Merge Dialog File menu > XRef Objects > XRef Objects dialog > Create XRef Record From File button > Open File > XRef Merge dialog The XRef Merge dialog lets you choose which objects to add as XRef objects to the scene. This behaves similarly to the Merge command on page 7058. Controls on this dialog are similar to those on the Selection Floater on page 231. The Merge dialog lets you load and save influences with or without their dependents. In many cases, objects should be referenced with their influences, but the display only makes you aware of the relationships, it does not force you to externally reference them. 6956 | Chapter 23 Managing Scenes and Projects
