Hello all.

I am busy on a map and working with Gmax for it. I searched for this problem on the forum but cant find the right answer.
Also I use www.renhelp.net (thx to the writers for the tuts) but can not find my answer there to.

Whats on my mind:

In The netherlands in Amsterdam there is a buidling where I worked. I have the technical drawings of it so i had the plan to make a map out of it for (first) renegade.

The problem:

A lot of segments of this building I can use more then once. On http://www.renhelp.net I read that when I want to use copies of the segments I have to rename the meshes to a unique name. But for a building with 721 Appartments its a bit of work to do it.

My idea:

I have a gmax file with the exterior with al the walls textured(thx to renhelp), working glass (also thx to renhelp Smile ). This file I want to load in another file with xref. There I make the interiors (rooms, bathroom kitchen etc etc). This file I put in a final file with te big building also with xref. This final file I export to w3d for Renegadetools.

Why:

If I want to change something to the exterior I only have to change one file instead of a lot of segments Smile I work with autocad for my work and there i learned the good thing of xrefs. And I have to make one file to multiply.

Question:

Is there a way to make it work like I want ?
Do I have to use Xref objects or Xref Scene ?

PS I am Dutch. If there is somebody who knows howto he/she doesnt have to translate to englisch for me. Smile

I hope somebody can help me with this.

Greetings

Rene

only difference between xref objects and xref scene is, that when you chose xref objects, you can chose certain meshes rather then everything in your scene

Moding can be real Fun...
