Editing multiple objects.

Hi folks.

Is there a way to affect the properties of multiple selected objects, properties such as materials, or physics settings? Say I want to change the material of 100 balls, or change the Particle Friction of them all in one go? These are just duplicated objects. (Shift+D)

Thanks.

Linking their datablocks will allow this. Select all but one of them, then shift-select the last one to make it the active object and hit Ctrl-L to make them all share that last one’s material, animation data, modifiers, etc.

Use Alt-D initially…
