Select Add Parameters in the override PPG - navigate in the pop up explorer and
find any visibility tab on any object, select the Primary rays option - right
click in the interface - Voila - a check mark appears that will effect all
objects in that partition!

 Subject: disabling secondary rays on a partition


 Hi chaps,

 this should be really simple (I'm sure I knew how to do this in the past but
have mentally filtered it out somehow)

 I've got 300 objects in a partition - I need to disable primary rays but keep
secondary for reflections - I get an override, but how do I give the override
or partition a visibility property?

 I know all the london guys are in the pub already, can anyone else help,
'cause I'd like to be there as well!

 Cheers,
 Matt
