Loading same Collection of props into multiple projects?

iClone General

Hi All,

Is there a way to create a Collection of props in IClone 8 so that the entire Collection can be loaded into any IClone 8 project? I have a set of props that I want to use in multiple projects. They comprise a “room” that has several objects in it. I would like to use this same “room” in several different projects. I would like the room to look the same basically in each project, but I would like the ability to access the individual props in the room if I need to customize the room for a specific project. It would be inconvenient to load each individual prop manually in every project that I want to use them in. It would be much more convenient to load all of them into the project at once.

I tried to find out for myself how to do this via the online manual and tutorials, but I didn’t succeed. Maybe I didn’t look in the right place. Anyway, I would appreciate it if someone could enlighten me. Thanks.

It should be rather simple.
Select and attach all room props to one other prop (like a floor for instance)
Save the floor.
When you apply saved floor to the next project, all attached props would load along.

You may also use Merge Project from File menu and import desired objects on the fly from a referenced project.

That works! Thank you.
