Hi Omar. I think Vimeo was having trouble earlier today, because I checked the video on my smartphone and it was indeed having issues. I just checked on my laptop, now that I am at home, and it is working again. Enjoy!

Easiest solution I can think of for that is to just script what you are describing there to suppress any dialog boxes and extra mouse clicks/key strokes that come up during the process. Something like..

saveNodes selection ((getDir #temp) + “\\nodesCopyBuffer.max”)

theFile = ((getDir #temp) + “\\nodesCopyBuffer.max”)
if (doesFileExist theFile) then
(
mergeMAXFile theFile #select #mergeDups #renameMtlDups #promptReparent
)

These would be two separate macroscripts. Just bind the “saveNodes” one to Ctrl+C and the “mergeMaxFile” one to Ctrl+V through Customize UI. Since both macros are always using the same, hardcoded, file path, it is essentially acting like a copy/paste buffer.

NICE! is it possible to Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V objects from one max to another? often I save selected to a temp file on my desktop and merge into another scene. would be cool if it was less steps like copy/paste
