notamondayfan Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 hi all, got a little problem. i have a scene with desks scattered around, all xref objects from one file. now i have to change the desks to give various colours on their backing board. obviously i cant change the colour in the xref file, as it will change every desks colour. is there a way i can select a group of desks, and tell them to xref from another file (a duplicate with a different colour)? i dont really want to re-xref and reposition 75% of my desks. any ideas much appreciated! cheers, dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyorl Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Just re-create in your main scene different materials for your desks, and then just apply those mat's to your xRef's. So u don't need to change any of your xRef's models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Warner Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Just make sure that you un-check "propogate materials to instances" under the options in the material editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
