Hi Tim,
I'm not extremely aware of the workings of references in Maya, but in
XSI, references are not exactly meant or intended to be added layers
of edits. Most of references models attributes are locked, which means
you can only modify them through overrides and similar forced
inheritance device. As far as my experience goes, it is tricky to
modify heavily a reference model. Instead you are better to export the
reference model with the modifications in it.
Btw, one question: why do you need to *merge* everything? Any reason
specifically? I'd be very interested in your workflow.
Thanks
Bernard
