I am jumping between ACADr13 and 3DSr4 working on animating a "transforming house." I used many object/link(s) to make the controling of pieces much easier. However, now I need to modify the original object (adding and subtracting more parts) and increase the details of the objects. Questions: 1)Is it possible to keep the objects linked but to "update" the object. For example, in the original file/animation you have a box that is linked and now you want to replace the box wih a torus without creating a completely new link etc…..I know this seems confusing, because it is confusing to ME!!!!……..oh well……..Basically import the link-tree and then switch the names in the tree?….I have nooo idea. Well, thanks anyway! Question #2– If I import by layers, and more than one object is on that layer how can I seperate the object to be two seperate things?(in 3DS)
