Add 3D Preference to NOT change to the Advanced Renderer when adding an OBJ to a composition

When adding an OBJ to a composition, After Effects automatically warns you with an annoying popup and changes to the Advanced Renderer, but many widely used effects such as Plexus, Particular, Form, Element 3D and Stardust use OBJs using the Basic 3D Renderer. Please add a 3D Preference to not change the renderer upon adding an OBJ to a composition. Having to change the renderer back and get yet another warning dialog every single time is very disruptive to this workflow. Currently neither warning can be dismissed permanently.
