Features:
- Swaps out a model with a snapshot
- Deletes the old model and gives the new one the original name
- Ignores non-geometry objects.

Usage:
- Select what you want to replace, then press the button.

Limitations:
- Checks for a few specified type of geometry instead of geometry superclass. Should fix this later.
- Not sure if this will preserve wireframe color or other properties

Known Bugs:
