Substance PAINTER: organize many objects, for good paint

Gikkio

Hi all! 
I have a question: 

I have to import a scene in SUB PAINTER. 
 There are many street lamps around 50 mesh. How do I organize these identical objects? All have the a property UV. (1 object 1 uv, but all the object and uv is identical) 

If I add 1 material per object I will have 50 materials in sub-painter.

If instead I set all the objects under the same material / group when I paint the texture I paint ALL the objects at the same time (and the painting is not correct on all objects).
how do i get out of this maze?
very TY

Do you want them all to be different or do you want them all to be identical?

for what i have to do i need to know what to do when they are identical please.

But since it's a "big" job, I'd like to know what I'll have to do when I have non-identical items.  

I thank you so much.

For identical objects,  just import one of them to painter and apply the exported maps to all the others. 

If you want them all unique you will want to give them each a separate texture set. 
honestly though, it's a bad way to work and you'd be much better using procedural techniques to add variation to a bunch of identical assets.

Very very thank you Pipe!
