Hi all.

Are there xRefs in modo?
Like this:

If so, how are they implemented?

Thanks.

You can reference an entire modo scene, or indeed any type of file, by using the import reference command in the File menu. It mostly works, but there are a bunch of limitations. You cannot do any editing of the scene (or even shader three stuff) in the master scene and have it propagate back to the referenced scene, for example, and if you remove a particular layer from the reference (inside the master scene), there's no way of getting it back. There's no "xref manager" or anything either.
