Hi,

You should be aware that this is a ALIAS forum. Not MAYA.

Anyway, i ll give you a hint.

There is in a maya a tool called reference manager. Similar to 3ds max.

Check that on documentation, and you should be fine. Yeah, Maya is buggy (it is such a complex software), but there is always a workaround, and sometimes little tricks.

If you keep getting problems, send me a message here, and i will personally help you.

Good luck.

Hello,

No. It is all maya default stuff.

Go to file menu, and you will see REFERENCE EDITOR there.

You may want to have a look too at some editors under WINDOW/GENERAL EDITORS/....., so u can check everything u need.

Have fun

oh! I see
but it dosn't working,whether "reload reference" or "replace reference".
change source file'shader,the open riging file shader missing.

I don't know,it wii block data when riging ?
