I do not advise using nested models.

When you get to the more complicated relationships such as model deltas, group 
relations, animation mixer propagation, instances, and so on, you’re just 
asking for trouble.

Glad to see improvements, however, as it has far reaching effects beyond 
nesting.

Thanks Eric, we had huge troubles with nested references in 2013, in fact we 
gave up on it. So that is definitely a tick in the pro box!

Cheers, Nick

I’ve been successfully using referenced models that contain other reference 
models with SI2014. This used to cause stability problems in earlier versions, 
but it’s been a while since I checked.. it might have been 2012 or earlier that 
I last checked. I’m pretty happy to see it working these days, regardless. My 
usage is generally limited to game export related stuff without referenced 
material libs, so YMMV. There’s been enough problems with refmodels over the 
years I’m not about to say it’s problem free but being able to nest referenced 
models is pretty useful for my workflow and I’m glad it is working for me.

About to take the plunge and update from 2013 (not sp1) to 2014 (latest build).
Are there any caveats I should be wary of?

Appreciate any advice either way!

Cheers, Nick
