Append from file? - Mishou - 09-30-2014
Hello,
It is possible to append an object from file? If not, is there any possibility to see this in the future (a not so future... future
)? I would like to have a file with objects of same type (nuts&bolts, gears, pipes, etc.) and append from there the one i need instead a large amount of files!Thank you!

Merge operation of .wings files (native file format).
It is in there already !

I presume merging will add all the objects in that file instead of a specific object inside that?!

I'm sorry. I see what you ask for now.
BUT ... I'll try to give you a developer friendly answer ...
1) Don't put so many shapes into your scene that it will bog wings3d down.
2) Open a new scene ... do you import of all objects in your category.
3) Open the geometry windows and select the subset you want.
4) Save the subset.
5) Now merge that subset into your final scene.
I guess what I'm saying is ... I think the current program already does enough work for you that you should be satisfied.
Does this work well enough ?

Michou There is a W.I.P. related to this kind of request. You can see how it would look at this post
