Is there a way to reload an object into messiah? I've been doing some test renders and I have to keep deleting the old object then loading the new object, then place it where is want it again every time I change the model. This gets a bit tedious.

TIA.

It isn't exactly a reload button, but if you close your scene, replace your model with your new one (it has to have the same name) and then open the scene again. Kazam! There is your updated model.
It might actually work without closing the scene first. Just update your model and then load the scene and say you want replace the scene.

hahahah - I try to get pmG to change this for a long time without success - it is perfectly hidden:
On the File Tab you have a collapsed block called: "Multiply Items".
If you open it you have the option to Clone, Mirror and - Tataaaaa - Replace the selected object :)

Please pmG - change the name of the block or move "replace item" into the file dropdown or make it otherwise easier to find. Pretty please :)

Cheers,
