Advanced Graphics from material global shut off

I have a large assembly that one guy has turned on the advanced graphics for materials on all the parts. Is there a way to turn this off of all parts ( possibly globally though the assembly ) without opening each individual part, right clicking materials in the feature manager, un-checking the advanced graphics check box, and saving the 400 part(s)?

Please tell me there is a way to this without the million mouse clicks I am about to endure!!!

If not... AGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! THBBTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Simply un-selecting the RealView button isn't sufficient? Otherwise sent it back to the guy that did it and get *him* to un-check the box ;o)

I couldn't find any API documentation for it and when recording you get

Sub main()

Set swApp = Application.SldWorks

Set Part = swApp.ActiveDoc boolstatus = Part.Extension.SelectByID("Unknown", "BROWSERITEM", 0, 0, 0, False, 0, Nothing) boolstatus = Part.Extension.SelectByID("Unknown", "BROWSERITEM", 0, 0, 0, False, 0, Nothing) boolstatus = Part.Extension.SelectByID("Unknown", "BROWSERITEM", 0, 0, 0, False, 0, Nothing) Part.ClearSelection2 True End Sub

"Unknown Browser Item" interesting even SW doesn't know what this item is.

No this is not a real view issue, my card cannot handle that, there is a preferance for some ugly patterns to be applied to a part when you give it a material, or you can just have a colour applied.

Turn on large assembly mode and in tools otion under large assembly, deselect "Use RealView graphics". Components will have a darker color than before but no real view
