**"Well..it is obvious that i am new to C4D!...i know that this is basic stuff...but i just cant get to load a prop into the preset light rigs in C4D!...it is not that the prop does not load...it does load...only into a complete new scene!...not into the preset light rig that i want it to load!...and that is what has me baffled!...there is either something that  i am doing wrong...or not doing at all!..."**

 

Hi there when you  use the "open" command  to import an object into C4D from any external location other than the content browser,

C4D will always create a new scene for that object.

Use the "merge" command instead to add the object to your current scene where you have your light kit rig all set up to render
