appending models

how do you append a model (with armatures, vertex groups, parenting, actions/animations) from a .blend to another file?
thanks in advance!

  1. Press Shift F1 to go to the append menu.
  2. Select the .blend file you want to append from.
  3. Go to objects and select your model.

Hope this helps

In the append menu, select the file and go into the ‘object’ folder and right click+drag over everything to append it while keeping all the parenting, armatures etc.
EDIT: Beaten to it:D

thanks guys… i didn’t know that you can select multiple objects at once when appendin… simple but neat, and also very helpful… thanks guys!

You can also make a group, by selecting the mesh and armature, the pressing ctrl-g. Then “group” will be one of the options when you append.

thanks self-adhesive… this community is really very friendly… if not for you guys, i would have been stuck… thanks!
