Set rig?

i have a scene i built with a lot of elements
and i need to copy the scene to several max's files but i dont want to do a MERGE command and choose ALL the elements...
Is there any way to close the scene i built as a set or somthing that when i need to copy it to another max file i will just have to choose the set and automaticly that will choose the entire elements?

i hope its understandable....

You should be able to use the Group command.
When you merge your elements back in they will appear as one group object.

there's a button with "All" written on it in the merge dialog

or you could Xref the file your scenes you wanted - that way you can keep it updated across all the files

thanks freddy but i know the group command - i hate it. its screwing up alot!

and poopipe - thank you but i can't use the All command because they are more elements that i don't want to move from file to file. and the Xref wont help me i think because i need to adjust some elements in every file to make it best from the camera view....

any other suggestions?
