Hello all... Im almost sure it isnt possible, but it doesnt hurt to ask... I have this large set made up of several parts where each part has the cast shadows option off. Is there a way to turn it on for all the parts at once? Or if not, what would the most time saving way to do it?

Maybe saving the whole rig as an obj and importing it back?....this would work...but not for scenes where the same set would be used with moving parts like hatches etc...but Im seeing a solution here...

If you have Pro-Pack, 5 or 6 then a Python script would be your best bet.

If that thread doesn't help, here's the code to make your own. You just need to replace the body part names with the ones you want to use, then save it with a .pz2 extension and apply it like a normal MAT file. mac { version { number 4.01 } actor back_wall:1 { castsShadow 1 } actor left_wall:1 { castsShadow 1 } actor right_wall:1 { castsShadow 1 } actor front_wall:1 { castsShadow 1 } actor ceiling:1 { castsShadow 1 } }
