outliner greyed out

[Christian Pohrer]

Hi I somehow can’t hide the linked objects in the render and display view or disable the selection (Except of the monster truck). BUT I can hide it in the 3d viewport. I get this error:

Does anyone know what that means and what I did wrong?

Hi @pohrerhub  ,

this is just to let you know, that I’m looking into it…I haven’t used Library Overrides yet, so I don’t know out the top of my head, what’s going on…The system is still new and incomplete and changes are being made to it all the time….So different behavior from the video are not a complete surprise and don’t necessarily mean you made a mistake.

@pohrerhub You haven’t done anything wrong,
This just means the linked objects cannot be edited.

When linking into a file with library overrides, Blender creates overrides of a lot of data blocks, to reduce the amount of information and risk of potential unwanted editing, most of those data-blocks are marked as non-editable by default.

There is a lot to learn on Library Overrides, check this on Blender.org for more info.

Ideally you would make changes in the original file.

You can make a data-block editable by right clinking the object in the outliner > ID Data > Make Library Override Editable

I hope this helps

[Christian Pohrer]

Yeah that helped thank youu

Glad you got it sorted.

It seems the devs have changed the way overrides function since 3.0
I might have to do a little extra video to update this change so other people aren’t left scratching their heads.
But thanks for bringing it to our attention.
