Referencing projects instead of importing?
Hello,
I would like to reference a project file within a project, without actually “importing” it. When important a project file, a copy of the original project is created, but any changes made to the original project file will not update in the current project.
Maybe this is something that is not used that often, but considering that a group of people might work on the same project (spread among several project files), this sounds like basic functionality to me. I might be wrong though 🙂
Many thanks for any help.

Thank you Dave. That was kind of what I expected, but I felt like trying anyway 🙂
One solution might be to use extensive scripting and update each layer based on layers in a different project, but I don’t have time to try that.
Again, thanks.

Hello Dave,
Thanks again for your thoughts. My initial post might have been misleading. I actually meant that I wanted to import a project that someone else is working on, not a group of people working on the same project. I was thinking of something that is possible in, for example, maya, where a number of 3d objects can be imported in a kind of read-only mode, and upon reloading the scene the referenced files are reloaded as well.
Thanks,
Tobias
