So much noise for nothing. Everybody export-import models everyday without
problems so WHAT IS THE PROBLEM ?
Sorry...
my BIG 0.00000001 euro
the below shows a step by step reproduction of the problem, in a
nutshell, a multiselection export as *.emdl file is accepted without
error checking if there is a modelnode for the entire selection present,
instead, the first selected object is put into a new model (according to
the name the file is saved) and all other objects are ignored in the export.
This may lead to dataloss that is difficult to track down as it´s neither
documented nor expressedly desired behaviour to be toggled.
Cheers
tim

Alan,
Make a cube, a sphere, and a cone.
Select the cube.
Go File>Export>Model.
Give the Model name Temp.
Import Temp.emdl into a new scene in a separate XSI session.
You will note that Temp is a Model with the cube underneath.
Now go back and select sphere first, cube second, then cone.
Go File>Export>Model.
Give the Model name Temp2.
Import Temp2.emdl into a new scene in a separate XSI session.
You will note that Temp2 only possesses sphere.
The ability to export selected objects is either broken or needs to be
removed as it misleads the user into thinking that this is a functional
way of doing business.
It is not. Single vs Multi selection distinction was done away with Soft
3D. This should be a multi-selection procedure. It is not. It is broken.
