Can I import a new (updated) IDF-fil (my geometry) into an existing OS-file where a IDF-file already has been imported?

Hi.

I have an OS-model, which I started up by importing a IDF-file with my geometry. Now I have an updated version of the geometry and therefore an updated IDF-file. But when I try to import the updated IDF-file into my OS-model, OS wants me to save and close my model and makes a new model with the updated IDF-file. But then all my settings are to be entered again?? :s

How can I import a IDF-model into an existing OS-model?

I have tried doing it by using SketchUp as the geometry (in stead of a IDF-file), and this I can keed updating, and the OS-file just adds more and more as I wanted, without deleting anything I made :) .. But I'm not interested in using sketchup as my geometry-base. My geometry is in a IDF-file...
