12 | Basics Menus Reference > File > Import Resolve options When you import a scene into another scene, naming conflicts occur if the nodes share the same name and parent nodes. To resolve these naming conflicts, you can rename only nodes with the same name and parents (clashing nodes) or you can rename all nodes. You specify whether to use the filename as the prefix (the default) or to create a prefix string. For more information on node hierarchy, see MEL and Expressions. Tip We recommend you use namespaces to resolve naming conflicts instead of using the Name clash options when importing or referencing files. Move file options The following file type-specific options apply to importing move files: Attributes Type the name of an attribute in the Attributes box and click Add to add the attribute to the list of attributes to use when importing or exporting. If the attribute is already included in the list, a duplicate is not made. You can add several attributes at one time by separating them with a space. To remove an attribute, type the name of the attribute and click Remove. From Channel Box Click From Channel Box to combine all of the selected objects in Maya, in the order of their selection, with the channels selected in the Channel Box and place them in the list. For example, if sphere and cone are selected, and tx, sx are selected in the Channel Box, sphere.tx sphere.sx cone.tx and cone.sx are added to the list of attribute to import and export. Remove Selected Click Remove Selected to remove all of the attributes selected in the list. Remove All Click Remove All to remove all of the attributes from the list. Precision This is ignored in file export. For file import, this sets the precision of the file. When you click import or export, the move file is written or read and only the attributes in the list are affected. Basics 210
