For each application, there is a Send To submenu with the same choices.
If the other application is not installed on your system, choices on the submenu are not available.
- Send as New Scene
- Opens a new scene in the target application, and sends data from
3ds Max.
If the target application is not already running, this choice opens it.
If you have selected objects in the
3ds Max scene, only those objects are sent; otherwise, the entire
3ds Max scene is sent.
- Update Current Scene
- Available only if the target application is running. Updates the target scene by sending the current
3ds Max selection. If no objects are selected, this choice sends the selection that was previously sent.
- Add to Current Scene
- Available only if the target application is running. Sends the current selection to the target application, along with objects that have already been sent.
- Select Previously Sent Objects
- Available only if
3ds Max is connected to the target application, or if there was a previous connection. Selects all of the objects that were previously sent to the target application.
This choice is a convenient way to see which objects are already being shared, and to choose which objects to add to the selection, if you want to do so.
