Hi! My name is Jordy, i'm Dutch, so my Englisch wouldn't be the best. Here's my question :

In model A, I have 50x trees and 46x other objects. Model A is a simple house.

Unfortunately I forget something, and I changed my model A to model B. It is the same house, but with some differents. When I export this model (sketchup) in Artlantis, I need to add all my objects again. This will take very much time.

Is there a way I can group all my objects, save them as .aof and use (import) them in my newer model?

I hope you'll all understand what I mean. Can anybody help me to fix this (if it is possible?)?

Greetings Jordy Vos (holland)

Hello Jordy,

It has been a while since I heard of you ;o).
Good to see that you found the artlantisforums.
If you ask me the command to use it 'use reference file'
With this command you can load the shaders , objects, textures etc you used in another file to be used in the new file.

I hope this helps you.

Jordy,

There is a little tutorial about the reference file command to be watched on this location: http://www.artlantisobjects.com/html/reference_file.html

I hope it helps you

What if you only want some of the objects in the first file? A workaround could be to create a temporary copy file, delete the objects that you don't need, and then use it as reference, but it is still a lot of work in a file with many objects that you do not need.

Ignacio,

You can have two instances of Artlantis open on your computer.

So the workaround you can use is to open one file. Then launch Artlantis again and open the other file. Copy and paste objects you need from one file to another.

I hope this helps you.
