Add Child Scenario

The Add Child Scenario dialog box lets you apply a scenario from the current or another project to a node.

For a scenario to have an effect, the actor GUIDs (globally unique identifiers) must match.

To display this dialog box, right-click a node in the Assembly tree and click Scenario > Apply Scenario to Node.

Command Name	Description
Apply mode	Specifies the apply mode: Merge - Merges the animation with any existing animation keys. Replace - Removes any existing animation keys.
With reference	Creates a link to the child scenario file from the parent scenario file. The link is dynamic, so changes to the child scenario are automatically applied. To include (flatten) the child scenario file in the parent, clear this option.
