Can you merge the scene information from 2 xml files?

[Disgruntoad]

Hi all,

I'm curious if there is a way to merge the scene information from 2 xml files (for instance, one containing objects and a second containing emitters). I was reading through the api and 'editing a scene' documentation pages, but it wasn't obvious to me how I would actually do this.

Thanks for any help!

Hello @Disgruntoad,

Changing a scene's contents (i.e. plugins, shapes, etc) after it has been loaded is not supported, however you can:

1. Parse the XML files and combine them on-the-fly in Python
2. Or, see this discussion for how to create a new scene from an existing Scene: How to construct a subset scene from existing scene objects? #1328
