I do it all the time. I'm not sure I'd call what you're experiencing a bug. It depends if they ALL have local properties or not. If you don't make a Display property or localize the one inherited from the sceneroot, the multi-select fails, usually showing you the inherited one only.
The trick is to select what you want, then go to Get->Property->Display then change them in the multiselect ppg that pops up. (You can even do it again without fear as XSI doesn't permit more than one Display property to exist per object. If one exists it gets reset when you try to make it again.) Maybe it would be nice if XSI asked to localize all of them when some are inherited and some are local. -- Alan On Fri, Jun 29, 2012 at 11:24 AM, Manny Papamanos < manny.papama...@autodesk.com> wrote: > Yes, the color widget is available in the display property but it seems > not to work when you multi select objects and edit the object's common > assets in Selection>display. > I tried it as far back as V2010 and it seems to do the same, nothing > logged :( > As far as I know, those listed assets in the top part of "selection" in > the MCP are "common" and should affect all selected elements.
