Importing the whole village model into the building model as an XRef
Radiosity solution data cannot be part of an XRef if objects have duplicate
names. To solve this, change the duplicate names. Also, to reference radiosity
data externally, the Save Scene Information In MAX File switch must be on
in the
Radiosity panel on page 7578 of the Preferences dialog. (It is on by
default.)
Be aware that render effects are not carried into the master scene by XRef
scenes. To use the render effects (such as glow or flare) from the XRef file,
merge them in using the Merge buttons found in the Environment And Effects
dialog.
NOTE Atmospheric effects assigned to objects in the source file are carried into
the master file when the source file is used as an XRef scene.
