Hi Michael,

"split your project up into multiple separate files rather than having it all in just one single ginormous file"
this is one of my bad habits to model everything in one scene

"avoid replicating the railing inside of MoI and instead make the duplicates in your rendering program"
if it is just duplicating then o.k. ,but if its more than that i don`t want to lose MOI`s snapping.

"instance mechanism in MoI"
Would appreciate that. Even if i lose the instances during export.
What about Collada? I know MOI doesn`t support it yet, but from listening to all the forums it seems that it will get the standard for exchanging files between 3D apps and kind of replace wavefront. Does it support instances?

Last update for some time (only quick &dirty)......
