Replace lets you substitute the geometry of one or more objects in a scene by merging objects with duplicate names.
- Choose File menu
Import Replace to display the Replace File dialog. To see more than one file type at a time, choose the All Files entry.
- Select a file from which to choose replacement items.
- On the Replace dialog for that file, choose a group or a replacement item. (See the following procedure.)
An alert asks if you want to replace the materials along with the objects.
- If yes, the materials from the incoming objects replace the current materials.
- If no, only the geometry is replaced, while the material assigned to the original object is retained.
