The MergeWizard can be used to take models and textures loaded into CreativeStudio and merge them with any selected intermediate file.
MergeWizard settings are split into two categories.
Note: Note: The merge process clears the prior edit history.
The merge process will import only the settings for content contained within other intermediate files.
This allows you to apply the settings for existing content to content that has been exported from 3DCG tools.
This page describes settings and features for selecting files to merge and applying settings.
A | Files to load: | Opens the intermediate files to be loaded for merging. Load related files is available as a load option. This option can be enabled by selecting the checkbox. |
---|---|---|
B | List of loaded files: | This list can be used to check the intermediate files that have been loaded under Files to load. The intermediate files shown here can be merged. |
C | List of merge targets: | This list displays the contents that can be merged among the existing contents loaded into CreativeStudio. |
The intermediate files listed here are loaded for merging.
If Open is selected, a dialog box for opening files will open in a separate window where you can select the intermediate file you want to merge.
Once an intermediate file is selected, the selected file will be displayed in the Files to load window.
Note that merging settings are not complete just by selecting Files to load.
After Files to load have been selected, press Apply to set them for merging.
Intermediate files for which Apply has been pressed are moved to the List of loaded files.
If Load related files has been enabled, other intermediate files associated with the model being loaded will also be loaded automatically.
This is enabled only when the load target is a model.
This list displays the intermediate files that have been selected under Files to load and for which Apply has been pressed.
Loaded intermediate files can be merged as long as they are displayed in the List of loaded files.
Contents that have already been loaded into CreativeStudio and which can serve as a merge target automatically appear in this list.
This checkbox specifies whether to associate files with matching names.
If enabled, any loaded intermediate files with the same name as the merge target are automatically associated as merge targets.
The term related files refers to models and textures associated with files selected in Files to load.
Related files can also be set as merge targets if this checkbox is selected.
Select this option if you do not want to add same name files.
The Next button at the bottom of the MergeWizard is enabled when Apply is pressed for intermediate files selected in Files to load.
The MergeWizard display switches to a window for setting associations with target files when the Next button is pressed.
This page describes settings and features for executing the merge process.
