In order for a material to use Linked mode, it is necessary that its source MXM path points to a valid MXM file. When this is true, and the

MXM is Linked, then material’s preview will appear in the Material Editor and the Scene Manager’s materials page with a green border:

If a material is set to use Linked mode, but the specified MXM file is not able to be found, it will appear with a red border:

If a material is set to use Embedded mode, then the border will have the standard border-color:

How does MXM Linking work?

MXM Linking is completely optional; that is, the full definition of the material is always stored (i.e. embedded) in the Rhino document.

This ensures that no matter where you open a Rhino document, it will still be able to be rendered in Maxwell the same as it did the last

time it was saved. How it works in practice is this:

 a Rhino document is opened

 the plugin reads the materials stored inside

 for each material which was saved with MXM Linking enabled, the plugin reads its source MXM path, and checks whether an MXM

file is found at this location

 if the MXM file is found, the material is immediately updated with the contents of that MXM file. If however, the MXM file is not

found, nothing further happens – the definition of the material which was found in the document will be used at render-time

Therefore, the MXM Linking feature of the plugin offers the ability to link central MXM files in individual Rhino documents, thereby

allowing you to change how materials in multiple documents render just by editing one MXM file, while simultaneously handling

scenarios where a specified MXM file is not found, or where the material is not set to link to any MXM file at all.

The plugin also provides a special mode which may be used to defeat this process entirely, in case you have a document which you

know has linked materials contained inside, but you do not want them to update themselves. This is found at Options > Behavior >

Ignore Linked MXM Mode. When this option is enabled, all materials will behave as though they are using Embedded MXM Linking.
