override materials in linked model

[Bryan Thatcher]

Is it possible to override the materials globally for a linked model? Thanks.

Globally, you mean for all elements?
Phasing might do it, could you be a bit more specifc please?

[Bryan Thatcher]

Yes. I have an architectural model linked into our structural model. I'm trying to find the best way to view our design inside of theirs. Halftone just mutes it and transparent is basically wire frame. If I could assign all of their materials to 90% transparent or give all of the objects a Glass material, I think that would be an ideal way to view our design and theirs. How can I accomplish this, thanks.

I dont think you could overwrite the material that easily but maybe by using phase filters(which can affect linked files) then you could do it
