I could yes. It's an older asset and isn't set up that way, but frankly that 
makes a lot of sense.



Admittedly what I was really hoping for, was that there was an ICE solution,. 
So for example instead of using:

    "self.visibility.viewvis"

I could something like:

    "all.visibility.viewvis"

or:

    "branch.visibility.viewvis"

or:

    "model.visibility.viewvis"

And the visibility parameter would just propagate through the selected object 
and down the hierarchy. Since it already is able to assume the selected object 
without a name, why shouldn't it be able to assume the selected object's 
hierarchy without a name?

Is there any reason you can't go with a good ol' drag&drop expression?

If you need to copy the same expression on many objects, once you have one just 
rightclick and Copy/Paste Animation, unless I'm missing something obvious here.

I've got a model hierarchy of dozens of parts under a parent object.

The parent object is animated via an ICE tree and I've added conditional 
behavior to the ice tree to affect things like visibility of the parent object 
when certain situations are met.

This is all working as I would like with one except. I'd like the visibility 
condition to propagate from the parent to the entire model.

Am I required to apply a setdata node of visibility for every child of the 
parent, or is there an easier way?

I seem to recall I would have performed  a branch key in the past, but I have 
no clue how this might translate to ICE.
