Understanding a few Softimage Tips

[Falam]

I'm trying to understand these two Softimage tips, maybe someone can help. I'm going to quote the original text, as close as I had saved it. I hope these two will be of help to other Softimage users

You can see the entire list of XSI commands which can be added to your custom layouts/toolbars by opening the scene explorer and hitting the C key ?

When modeling a character you might want to detach, merge the mesh , when you do so xsi
creates a new polymesh and deletes the old (if you so choose) , well just drag and drop the new polymesh into the now empty Model
structure and it will appear inn the instanced Model structure aswell , so no need to set it all up again ...... ?

i'm not shure, but maybe it's about the SDK explorer. i don't know what a scene explorer is. there's only a scene search and the explorer...

...Model...

if you have two objects under a model (hierarchic) and merge them, the newly created polygonmesh sits under the scene root.
so you have to manually move it under the model(hierarchic) if you want so.

we deleted this feature from the software about 6 years ago. where are these tips from?

Both tips seem to have originated from the CGTalk Cool things in XSI no one knows! thread
and both tips (tip 1 & tip 2) are from 2004.
