So a Strict import MUST match existing information in a GR2 file as I can see.
Not a problem as long as you select a file with 3D models below or the same as your intended imports.

Lots of ways around that. It's going to be up to you to figure out somethings.
Say you have a model with larger sizes for a 3D object.
Cut it into pieces and use a GR2 that will accommodate more parts if need be.

Say the selected GR2 has to many parts? Throw in a totally zeroed part!
Or just add something special.

Important part is to reduce the ridiculous Loose import option and create files of a nominal size!

I don't need any Tool but 010 editor to do anything I want with a GR2 file.
But that's just me.
You need and use other programs so I'm just giving you what I talked about years ago.
You have now seen the proof of concept by example files.
It's not a theory. It's a proven way to reduce file sizes using an existing Program by TDW.
I'm not criticizing his work! It's a fantastic program!
I'm just addressing flaws as I have done with S3D in the past.

Should TDW make a magic appearance here? I'd gladly tell him how to adjust his Program.
