Overriding component properties
Changing any properties of an instance automatically creates an override. The Editor supports overrides to an instance’s transform, shape, materials, behaviors, and more.
Examples of what can be done with overrides:
-
Change the transform properties of an object - including position, rotation, and scale
-
Change the shape of a primitive object
-
Change the material properties - including material color, image textures, and more
-
Add new behaviors - including follow and look at
-
Change text object properties - including text copy, font, size, weight, etc.
-
Change the visibility properties - including front/both/back, and opacity
Pushing changes to the main component
Opting to push override changes from the instance to the main component will change both the main component and all other instances of the main component.
To push override changes to the main component and all other instances:
-
Select the instance with overrides
-
Navigate to the ‘Instances’ section of the properties panel
-
Select the … icon (to the right of the component’s name)
-
Select Push all changes to main from the dropdown
Resetting all changes
If you already made overrides to an instance and want to revert it to the main component properties, follow these steps:
-
Select the instance with overrides
-
Navigate to the ‘Instances’ section of the properties panel
-
Select the … icon (to the right of the component’s name)
-
Select Reset all changes from the dropdown
