Is there a way to run a batch script to create the snapshot (.icn) files from lots of models at once?  I remember back in the MultiGen days, you could record a script from keystrokes and clicks it was easy .....

The Attributes>Generate Report Tool can do this.
Start it, then ...
- Select Report Options: Batch Files
- Click Select Files to load the set of OpenFlight files you want to make snapshots for
- Select Snapshot Options: Database Shapshot
- Click Generate Report

Note that this creates JPG snapshot files.  No worries because Creator will find either .ICN or .JPG snapshots for your db.

Note also that this tool generates reports containing “snapshots” of your LODs and Switches as well.
Take a look and have fun!
