Yes, that's what I do.

Good tip ! Thanks :-)

<div>&gt;Can you not just switch passes before making the change, switch back
to<br>&gt;view? The locks are only in effect in the pass on which there are
overrides.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Yes, that's what I do.<br><br>&gt;Actually, I've just messed and I have a
better workaround. Switch to the<br>&gt;pass with no overrides, select the
object and open a rendertree. Lock the<br>&gt;rendertree now switch back to the
pass with the overrides. Edit nodes in
<br>&gt;this view and you won't get locked parameters. </div>

;<br>&gt;&gt;<br>&gt;&gt; Did anyone work out a way round the idiot paramater
locking when overrides<br>&gt;&gt; are put onto a partition. I'm in the
slightly odd situation where I've put
<br>&gt;&gt; an override on a node parameter in a rather large rendertree and
it's<br>&gt;&gt; locked<br>&gt;&gt; every parameter on every node in the tree.
The real killer is that it's<br>&gt;&gt; not<br>&gt;&gt; letting me override
any other parameter in the tree. This can't be right,
<br>&gt;&gt; surely?<br>&gt;&gt; ---<br>&gt;&gt; Unsubscribe? Mail <a href=
