I have fairly complex scene which I set up as 6 smaller files which I xref'd together. Before I textured them, I linked them together and they all rendered ok (using MXCL). Now I've textured each piece and test rendered them seperately and they're all working fine, but back in the linking file, they don't render. Binding doesn't solve the problem. The error says .MXS can't be found and sure enough, the plug in isn't creating one.

Is there something else about xref'd files that could effect this?

Thanks.

Nevermind I found the problem. Maxwell doesn't like if you have the same material name in multiple xrefs. So I just had to go to each file and add a prefix the material names. ie File1-concrete, File2-concrete, etc.

Don't know if this is a bug or just an undocumented feature.
