You can save XGen Collection and Description files and then load them into another scene or Collection using Export and Import commands. You can access these command from the XGen menu (XGen > Export Collections or Descriptions, XGen > Import Collections or Descriptions) and the XGen Window menu (File > Export Collections or Descriptions, File > Import Collections or Descriptions). By default, Maya saves exported Collections and Descriptions to an xgen folder in the user directory. For example:
C:/Users/user/Documents/xgen/collection.xgen
You can save and load the following Collection and Description files:
See XGen Collections.
You can select the Collection to which you want to add the Description. If there is no associated Collection, Maya creates one. See What are XGen Descriptions?.
You can use the Python Export and Import commands to save and load XGen Modifiers (.xgfx) files. See Use Python commands to export and import XGen files.When you load a Modifier into a Description, it must generate the same primitive type as the source Description. You can execute the command from within Maya or from within a python session.
