around  4:47 of this video Kai mentions the model in unreal will be replaced.

is there a way to not do that ? 
 I have my character  set up can i make a live link in IC8 and UR5 with out replacing her ? 
(so pull out the model in both programs then make the link and start animating ) model replaced would be a big set back
