    Default Changing a unit's appearance?

    Greetings,

    I was wondering how difficult it would be to switch a unit's model/texture with another model/texture? For example the regular legionary unit. I understand the PFM is required to do so, but how would I go about doing it as there's so many parts to a unit's appearance it seems? Many thanks in advance for any help.

    I simply open variantmesh in pfm as a text and copy-paste desired armor pieces from another unit.

    Is there a way to load a modded variant mesh definition in Tweak and for it to show up in the preview? As it isn't showing for me.
