workflow for importing additional models in an existing MXS

Hi,
i exported a scene in Studio and i'm working on it.
Now i want to load some other items because i updated the scene; if i simply import LWOs, they are loaded without any triangle group. If i assign an emitter material directly to object, it doesnt cast light.
Is there a way to import additional items into Studio as if they were exported to mxs ?

thanks,
Paolo

Can't you export the object to MXS from Layout and import that MXS into Studio?

yes, but that's what i hoped to avoid. It implies i've to delete everything but the item i want to export... in case i'm making frequent changes/exports, it forces me to reload original scene each time.
Maybe a "export selected items" function could be a nice add for next plugin.

bye

We've already implemented "export selected" for the next build of the plug-in, but I don't know when we'll be able to release it, because it depends on a few other things as well.

We're also going to implement MXS export functionality directly from Modeler, but I can't say when that will be ready.
