AttachModel SceneryObjects

The SDK documentation states that with <AttachModel> "The model attachment feature permits you to reference a model glTF and its corresponding XML file as an attachment to a main model."

With this can we attach SimObjects to SceneryObjects (and vice versa)?


Thanks,


SFSimsDev

Hello @SFSimsDev ,
Model Attachments feature only works for a simobject and not for several simobjects or scenery objects.
Of course, the xml you try to attach to your main model must be in the same project

Regards,
Boris

Thanks @Boris_ - In that case it sounds like there should be an edit/clarification in the documentation stating that it's only for SimObjects. I appreciate you explaining this and the quick response.

@SFSimsDev

Of course, we are already in the process of adding additional information and more examples in the documentation ;)
