3DS Max Duplicate Model Question

BBFirefly · Jun 2014

Okay so I made a bullet then duplicated it 10~ times and arranged them how I want. Only then did I notice something I wanted to change. As it stands each model is exactly the same save their position in the scene. Is there any way to change them all by only changing one? It's not exactly a hassle for me to go back and change the first bullet then make new clones (probably as references this time) and in fact that's probably what I'll do now but I was just wondering if there was a way to do this.

There are some free scripts around that will replace meshes automatically for you.

You could also use the Merge command, there's an option to replace existing meshes with the same names, iirc.

You can use the Substatue modifier as well if your obects are already placed.
