If this could be done, the world would open up for all the different models available. Not even sure how hard if not impossible to do.

Take a look at this thread over on the LOR forum;

I guess I should have included "Fixtures" too.
Here is the definition from the help file of a "Fixture"
Fixtures
All lights automatically become part of a "fixture". The fixture is actually the primary element on your stage. Whenever you create or select lights, or make changes, you are actually manipulating one or more fixtures.
Every fixture has its own set of properties depending on what kind of fixture it is and what kind of channels the fixture uses. These properties allow you to change the size of the bulbs on the virtual stage, the foreground/background level, name, comment, et cetera.
It helps to think of a fixture as a collection of zero, one, or more channels. For example, if you are using Light-O-Rama to drive a holiday light display, a single fixture could be the "Left Garage Bush", where you have four different color light strings, each being a different channel. You could then also have the "Right Garage Bush", which is a collection of four different channels.
Definition of Prop
Props
A "prop" in the Visualizer is a collection of fixtures. Since fixtures are collections of channels, think of a prop as being an easy way to associate different collections of channels. For example, you may create a large Christmas tree on your stage that consists of eight regions, each of which is four colors. Each region could be made as a fixture, and the collection of all eight regions (fixtures) could be made a prop called "The Tree".
You do not directly draw props. Instead, you create the individual fixtures and then associate them together as a prop.
My point of this is that if you look at that first link and see how many fixtures and props have been made, I would love to just import that into Nutcracker. Would save hours and hours of drawing and assigning channels if this could be done in some sort of pop window kind of like what the visualizer does now.
