Cannot edit linked mesh or curve data

[Siew_Wun_Lee]

Hi,

after I model the building, I want to use smooth shading for the whole model and render it but Blender showed msg : cannot edit linked mesh or curve data"
So I tried to delete the link object (not the duplicate from link) then it works
how come?
so this mean I need to delete all the link objects just use the duplicate?
Or I did sth wrong? Or miss sth?
Thank you

Hi all,

I already solved this problem.
It is because there r 4 options to localise the link object, I just localise the object datablock, havent localise the object data datablock.
It need to do it step by step, cannot rush then anything can be solved.

Hope u all can overcome ur problem too.
Be happy
