Thanks Ho, that did the trick. I'm assuming this wont be an hassle any more once you guys release SP1, right? ;)
On a side question related something you posted about Caching subframes with Alembic, you wrote: "Caching of subframe is supported, the objects need to have property SimulationSettings and option Cache All Simulation Samples checked. Pointclouds have this property by default. Polymeshes will have it if you create a simulated ICETree." I tried this and I get the subframes, the only issue I have is that in order to get/set the Simulation Setting I need to first create a simulated ICE tree, then delete it. Is there a way to make this process a bit simpler for the common user?
