Scenery Changes for Scenes and Acts

Question

I have a production in three acts with two scenes in each. What's the best way to change the model in Augment3D for each act and scene and save it in one showfile? 
 At the moment I'm having to make one showfile for each scene (that is six of them for one production) and, load each one during the scene change on stage - I can see a high risk of error for the operators!

In this case you want the other method TJ Hill mentioned in his answer. 
 Go to patch and add new channels of type Scenic Element. Those will be dummy channel, not controlling stuff in real life but rather your scenery. for 3 acts with two different sets each you will need 6 of them, e.g. 1001 through 1006. 
 Now head over to Augment3d Edit mode and in the Hierarchy tab take each scene's model and drag-and-drop it on one of the Scenic Element channels (they're somewhere in the hierarchy list as well). You should see that the model is now nested within the channel. When you're done, exit edit mode. 
 In Live channels 1001 to 1006 now represent each scene's scenery. When the channels are at 100% you will see the scenery, when at 0 it's hidden. Like this you can store which scenery is supposed to be visible in your cues. 
 Does that help?
