Cheers Kim, glad its works for you :)
Switching groups works better I found than the method of match
transforms and move hierarcy over to new instantiate, as nothing to copy
over if branch propegation etc is used on child objects of the orginal
instance model.
the 2 functions,
One to make an instance group if it doen't exist in new master. The
instance group is not the basic group.
-one cheap and dirty way is to make an instance of the new masster model
then delete the instance.
-oddly if I include this in the same function as the switch group below
it sometimes fails, I guess perhaps due to the instance group ports not
being reset, maybe? Or maybe it's a vbs thing ;)
And one to remove the intance model from the old master group and put it
into the newmassters instance group.
-just this function is required if the new master model already has an
instance group
Sorry yes the collection is uneccessary, I just left the collection as I
stripped the code out of a larger tool I made for prepping reference
models and was avoiding Selection. There's likely a much better way to
do that...?
I'm sure something more efficient can be done with ports, I need this
too so I'll look at it next week.
