Hi Sajjad,
Thanks for your reply. This is what I had planned to do but I was hoping that there was an easier approach. Thanks, Avinash.

I made a layout maker which did something similar. For our purposes a layout is essentially a collection of models (referenced or otherwise). Our emdl exporter attached a custom property to each model which stored the current scene path and the path the model was exported to. Modifying a model in the layout meant hitting a button which would, if required, swap out a referenced model for a local version (to modify geo). After modifications, hit another button which would: 1. Export the new emdl file (the path to export to was taken from the custom property) 2. Start a batch process which would update the original scene file (path of the original scene file was taken from the custom property) 3. If required, import back the newly imported model as a reference. The above is a somewhat simplified because I had to cater to versioning, shot specific modifications and more.

I am open to using existing plugin-ins and scripts as well as making my own. Thanks! Avinash.
