Octane Standalone:
How can I import an Octane scene in another scene?

I want to be able to import geometry that has the materials already built and assigned.
I was looking at the LocalDb, but it seems to be for materials only?

Thanks for any ideas!

- open scene 01
- right click in Node Graph Editor
- import scene 02
002 Right click - Import.jpg
- add geometry group node between render target and geometry of scene 01
- add placement node between geometry of scene 02 and geometry group node if needed

If the imported scene is in a grouped state
004 imported scene as group node.jpg
- right click "ungroup"
005B right click and select ungroup.jpg

or alternatively

- add a "geometry out" node and link it to the geometry of scene 02
