I am experienced with Maya but new to Blender, after long digging I still can't find an answer, can you help me out?

My question is: how to override a linked scene in Blender?

Create 2 empty files, link scene one to another.

As you can see, it says Shift + Click will create override, but it does nothing actually...

enter image description here

I found that a few people have asked the same question as me, but have not received answers yet.

Thank you very much for your help.

If overriding a scene is not currently feasible method, can you share a way how to link view layer?

  • $\begingroup$ when you link a file, select a scene instead of collection, object and etc. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ yeah nothing happens when i SHIFT + click. what exactly do you need to link? can you not just link the objects you need? coz there is also a menu under: Object -> Relations -> Make Library Override. $\endgroup$

Shift+Click still not working in Blender 3.3. You can override a linked scene by using the outliner by the following steps:

  1. Select Outliner Display Mode: Scenes
  2. Right click the linked Scene -> Library Override -> Make -> Selected/Content/Selected & Content depends on your needs
