nah, not directly anyway....

a way to do it is to create a folder in your prop tab that will have all the parts you want in one scene.

then open your scenes and individually save the props you want to that folder. When you call them into the file you want, the new saved file should save it's location so it will fall into place if you wanted to keep everything where it was at. Otherwise, center your prop before saving so the coordinates will start from center.

Good luck!

What if I did create a complex animation using the Timeline and other tools, would these steps help me not to do all the work I did?

saving animated scenes to merge with or use in others is something I wished iClone did too Wink
all my other software suites do.
you can save all the components in non-animated scenes as props by parenting all the components to one item, eg a ground plane
just select them all by holding shift and attach them to the unselected item.
then save it as a prop.

Depends upon what you mean by a complex animation.

For each actor you can save motion clips for custom motions and facial expressions for reuse.
You can save a group of props as a scene which can be loaded in other projects (Note that only one scene can be loaded at a time in a project).
You can group multiple props into a single prop for use in other animations.
You can save the current project as a different project, load that project copy and just modify those elements that need it.
