Hi @mikias.tesfahun . How are you my friend?

Is it possible for your workflow to run it within the assembly? 

I found this code from here. Tested it but didnt work for some of the parts. I dont why but maybe you can try if it works for you.

Dim oAsset As Asset
Dim oAsset_Array As New ArrayList
For Each oAsset_Array_X In ThisApplication.ActiveAppearanceLibrary.AppearanceAssets
oAsset_Array.Add(oAsset_Array_X.DisplayName)
oAsset_Array.Sort()
Next
'present the user with the list to choose from
oAsset_Array_Selected = InputListBox("CHOOSE TEXTURE FROM ABOVE LIST", oAsset_Array, oAsset_Array.Item(0), "TEXTURE SELECTION", "LIST OF TEXTURES")
If oAsset_Array_Selected = "" Then Exit Sub


For Each oOcc As ComponentOccurrence In ThisDoc.Document.ComponentDefinition.Occurrences
	On Error Resume Next
	Dim oDef As PartDocument
    oDef = oOcc.Definition.Document
    Dim oRenderStyle As RenderStyle
    oRenderStyle = oDef.RenderStyles.Item(oAsset_Array_Selected)
    oDef.ActiveRenderStyle = oRenderStyle
    iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True		
Next

Now I know why it didnt work in my case, the override has to be cleared first then set the appearance to "As Part".

There should be a code to clear the override.
