Hi thanks. But your method is "xref scene". What I want is "xref objects", is that possible?

"xref objects" in 'Model Merge Options'
There are only three options in "Model Merge Options":
1) Merge as Proxy
2) Use Existing Proxy-File
3) Display as Box
Is it possible to merge the 3D model objects like using the "xref objects", that can be found in 3dsmax's file menu?

Another thing I noticed...
And another thing I noticed - is there going to be speed improvement in the next versions? I noticed that the project manager hangs for 4-5 second before showing up the files if they are on a network location. In "HCG asset browser pro" (script similar to "Project Manager") the files show up almost instantly. I hope that this gets solved in next releases.

----------------------
Any who is familiar with a network knows about it.
Windows so works.
I think the "Project Manager" must have ability to delete files.
And certainly a key "Delete" have knowingly placed out separately from the basic keyboard keys.
It is difficult for pressing by accident.
-------------------------------------------
Sorry, but i not plan to remove this ability.
Yes, it moves the folders and
Yes, it moves the folders and files to the bin but only if they are on the local disk. If they are on the network - bye-bye files. I just did a test with an empty folder on the network and it gets wiped out completely! In the rush someone won't pay attention to the pop-up dialog window. Most users hit "yes/ok" or enter by default on any window which pops up.
