There is a serious issue that was not mentioned in this video for successful transition. First, make sure that you standardize the aspect ratio and scale of your original object that you want to append. In other words, go to your original object and on each of the component objects, hit Ctrl-A to refactor the scale or any other transforms that were made to that object. Only then (when the scale, for instance, shows 1.000 in each field x, y & z) the resulting saved file will then append correctly into the new file.

I honestly can't believe it took me months to find this, I stopped looking a while ago and YouTube just randomly decided to recommend me this and it's exactly what I needed.
Simple vid, good audio, to the point, great explination! Thanks!

You take the blue cube the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red cube, you stay in wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes

simple, straight to the point and without any unnecessary introductions. great tutorial!

[RC-Heli]

This is just what I needed. Thanks! I learned the hard way that you can work off to the side and find out later that youve screwed up several days worth of work.

I was dying a slow death with the asset browser and 1 object I needed…this did the trick. Thanks dude

In summary File>Append Then Choose the Object Folder, then the object in question.

You can also import other things like meshes and materials by selecting the relevant folder.

Great Thanks!

That makes a ton of sense to me now. Before I was just importing .fbx files into my main scene. I didn’t know the function of the Append option. But now I do. I’m a newbie to blender, so this is SUPER helpful.

[nickharding]

thank you this was so helpful i had lost over 500 materials and could not recover it and bake to my low poly, this saved me big time! Thank you!

[Evil_beanos]

Yo thanks, I'm glad I didn't have to watch a 30 minute long tutorial, just to know how to get a model to another file

[robfrydryck]

Thanks
That was explained well, with options, without tons of fluff at the beginning

[moano]

Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for this easy tutorial :)

[KillersBF]

Good lord above, thank
I was having such difficulty, I like to make stuff for Sims 4 and could not for the life of me realize I needed to append the objects and not the mesh =_=
Thank you for the video!!!
