XREF on RHino?

[arturmf]

Hi,

people, as i know Rhino dont work with external references. I know that 3D Studio works. I´am telling that because when we have to use heavy 3D trees, for example, maybe with a type of external reference the archive could be "lighter" (sorry my english) and maybe the RAM issue could be solved as well. So, complex sceanes would be easier!

PLEASE, correct me if i am wrong.

Best regards

Using blocks maybe?
You actually can insert external geometry and have it being updated as changes occur.
BUT: external .3dm files that come with a textured material won't work fine with V-Ray, since there's a problem with texture coordinates once you duplicate/move the instance. If you want to use given geometry that is not going to be changed at all, you can "bake the Micha cake" as follows: export rendermesh, save as .obj and re-import as Block Instance. And you're fine
