I accidentally discovered a way to put more animations in a model.
For example:
If you want to animate complex, pliants doors use the parts:

DOOR_A, DOOR_AA, DOOR_B, DOOR_BB, DOOR_C, DOOR_CC etc.

To animate the lever springs of a panto:

PantographTop1AA, PantographBottom1AA, PantographBottom1BB, etc. etc.

Perhaps is an bug, but is a very useful feature anyway.

Regards.

Not only like above, you can also use naming conventions like DoorA1,A2,A3 etc, I have used the same technique to animate 6 doors on long hood engine compartment. And it works on everything like Wipers, Doors, Pants, Mirrors etc. Don't know if it's bug, but it's VERY useful feature.... :thumbup3:

I'm not the author of it, but looking at the code it's intended :)

Mr. Santucci:

Perhaps will be a good idea to include this side-effect, unwanted feature into the manual.

Regards.
