I have a model which consists of various components which are all "linked" files from other models.
Now, just for rendering, I would like to try out different appearances, but dragging over any new appearance just gives me the warning
and no action.
Now, I do believe I understand the issue, but it is infuriating because I really, really don't want to update the appearances in all the base-models. Neither do I want to "unlink" all those components - in particular, as this (still?) needs to be done one by one.
So, I'm wondering/hoping: Is there a better solution? Or is this rather a "feature request"? Essentially, all my (complex) model is complete, and I just want to toy with visuals a bit for final presentation.
