  xrefs lose material when made editable

  Posted by Seth Olson on May 2, 2014 at 1:05 am

  I have several Xrefs of a single object. I need to render on the farm, so I used Render Elements to collect everything. No Xrefs were copied, so, I tried to merge them instead. But when I merge them, the materials are stripped from the xref.

  Suggestions?

  making the xrefs editable should work (I mean selecting them and making them editable by hand)

  So, I discovered I was corrupting my scene by “updating” instead of “replacing” when changing xref sources.
