Send to Softimage

Use these options to set what happens when you select File > Send to Softimage to transfer objects between MotionBuilder and Softimage.

Send as New Scene

Opens a new scene in Softimage, and sends the selected objects from MotionBuilder.

If Softimage is not already running, Send as New Scene opens the application. If Softimage is already running and the current scene has not been saved, you are prompted to save the current scene or cancel. Selecting Cancel stops the send operation.

Update Current Scene

Updates the Softimage scene by sending the current MotionBuilder selection.

Update Current Scene is available only if Softimage is running.

Add to Current Scene

Sends the current selection to Softimage.

Add to Current Scene is available only if Softimage is running. Any selected objects that have already been sent are duplicated in the Softimage scene.

Select Previously Sent Objects

Selects all of the objects that were sent to Softimage by the last use of the Send as New Scene, Update Current Scene, or Add to Current Scene command. Select Previously Sent Objects is available only if Softimage is running.

This option provides a convenient way to view which objects are already being shared, and to choose which objects to add to the selection.
