   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!

     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
