Quote - I don't think duplicates would save the settings as their names would change when they are merged. You get Genesis[2] instead of Genesis.

Unless you rename things before the merge, then I doubt it would work.

I'll try tomorrow.

I have tried it myself Reggie and you were right. Thank you for setting me on the right track!

 - there is only ONE Reality_Scene_Data object these days.

 - objects that exist in the scene and also in the scene that is merged (thus getting renamed by Daz to "-objectname- (2)" lose their Reality setting.

Problem solved! :)
