Merging a specific object from a file?

By brodie · 2012-08-20

Description

I'm quite new to scripting so bear with me.

Essentially what I'm wanting to do is have a low poly object Box01 in one file and run a script. The script would look into library.max for an object with the name Box01 and if it exists, would replace my low poly object.

I can merge in a whole scene, but is there a way to look for that specific object by name?

I got a result with this ...


mergeObj = #("Box001")

mergemaxfile "test.max" mergeObj

but take a look at for more details ... Search for Merging MAX Files
