I may be too stupid to own a computer (it only took me three custom installs to figure out that the extra models weren't in the Catalog Room--still haven't found those extra shaders). While Carrara can import an object created in A7, it doesn't appear to easily bring it from the Assembly Room into the Modelling Room. I got a message that I needed to edit the model in A7 (what, hadn't I already done that?) and then to click on an update button). The only way I've been able to get an A7 object into the Modelling room is to ungroup it and go through multiple conversions--no sign of an update button. And once I'm finished, I can't save the work as an Amapi object (and I don't think A7 can import a Carrara file without converting it to yet another format). Have I missed something in the documentation?
