mergeMaxFile, retain original layer?

[roger.olofsson]

Hi,

I am using "mergeMaxFile" to replace geometry in a bunch of files. I would like the objects to stay on the original layer but material and geometry should change, can that be done? Today geometry, material and layer is changed.

mergeMAXFile will recreate the Layers.
You can also use #mergeDups which will replace existing objects which have the same name.
You can also use #useSceneMtlDups which means the newly merged objects will use existing materials.

example:

mergeMaxFile "c:\\example.max" #mergeDups #useSceneMtlDups quiet:true
