Losing my mind (X-Refs)

What’s the trick to getting X-Refs to work properly? I’ll set up a scene just fine, work on something else, then come back to my scene and all my X-Refs have messed up scales and they’re all over the place. I know that this would be fine if the X-Refs had the same Units settings as my scene, but this just won’t work, since the main scene is huge.

I’ve been having similar problems with Containers, but those are too new to me to want to deal with right now.

Thanks!

Merge the controllers. Otherwise all changes you do in your main scene will be discarded on load as the controllers from the xref’ed scenes are reloaded.

In your xref file, create a master helper, link all top level nodes to that helper…

Then when you xref this file into your scene, merge the controller for the master helper only and then it should be ok next time you load the file and you won’t break the transforms link with the xref file.
