Is there a way to make the “Merge Scene XRefs” box active? The Merge Object Xrefs is available and works but we can not seem to get the Scene Xrefs box working, is there something I’m missing.
Kind regards
From looking through the submission script code, it appears that this feature hasn’t actually been implemented yet, so even if we enabled it, it would do nothing at this point.
If Bobo (our maxscript guru) is reading this, perhaps he could explain further.

Is this something that is likely to be rectified anytime soon? The reason I ask is that currently we have 5 sites globally with Deadline setup, farms varying from 15 machines to 50. As we want to maximize our use of our available rendering setup we sometimes make use of farms in the other offices if they are available. In these circumstances it makes sense for us to submit all Xrefs and Bitmaps in one go to the repository in question which in turn would then farm out the job to the local machines.
Any suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated as we intend to expand our farms in the future to cover additional offices.

Will test out the following as a pre-load script.
Maxscript to merge all xrefs till there’s none left, probably need a whole lot of error checking routines to get it work 100%.
Maybe bobo is reading this.
do(
merge (xrefs.getXRefFile 1)
) while (xrefs.getXRefFile 1) != undefined
