A tool to create an import map of a model and all of its sub-models to other models and all there sub-models

With the proliferation of high density props with a large number of sub-models it can be very tedious to import a sequence to multiple models of the same type with same sub-models. In order to map a model and all of it's sub-models to other models with different names requires a tedious process of individually assigning the model and sub-models to each model and it's sub-models.

A tool (button on import) that would allow you to create an import map that would allow you to specify the model and then the models model and all the sub-models would be mapped to. The model would need to be the same type of model and the sub-models would need to exist in each model and be the same name on all of the models.

There are no alternatives that would provide this complete functionality that I know of currently. I have been able to create a map by placing an on effect on every model and sub-model in a sequence and save the sequence. Then import the sequence and place all of the model and sub-models on a 2nd model of the same type and save as an map but this is quite time consuming and as vendors add new sub-models needs to be updated to work on all of the sub-models.

This is exactly why Aliases exist. BUT.. unlikely the submodels will have the same name across 2 diff models... but fear not.. aliases are available at the submodel level too.
