ghelmer - I think you mean CR2, but that would save all of the MTs with it. The idea is definitely to have two files, because I don't use all of the MTs on every render. The first scene is to just shape and export from. The second scene is used to just import the newest export from the big scene, and then render with. It's much easier to render with a 20MB file than a 200MB file. Dizzi - This is what I'm trying to avoid, there must be 50-100 magnets, each with at least a dozen dials. ghelmer gave me an idea. If I could delete the the figure, from my small scene, without taking away any of the magnets, then I could import the big figure?
