  Replace a merge object

  Posted by Kurisuta Vd wilk on January 31, 2013 at 10:37 am

  I have all kinds of animated objects in a scene. On the objects are extrude nurbs placed, from splines out of illustrator.

  I want to have the same animated sequence, but with different splines merged. Is there a posibility to just replace the spline files ?
  So it will have the same keyframes and position etc. ?

  Sure, no problem as long as the splines themselves aren’t animated.

  Well, ok. Nice that it is possible.
  But ofcourse my question is How to do it.
  I mean replace.
  I don’t mean, delete the original and place a new one.

  Like you can replace a source file in After effects for example, so it takes over all properties.

  No knowledge is a Statement

  Ah, of course that’s your question! I foolishly assumed that the question you actually asked was your question. 🙂

  In this case simply dropping in a new one and deleting the old one is probably the quickest way to go about it. You could use an xref object to reference a Cinema file containing your spline, and then change the reference to another file containing a different spline, but that involves more steps than simply importing and replacing.
