Custom Property Question

Lzy

Does anyone know if its possible to control the visbility of a surface through a custom property rather than through a material preset.    For example I have a jacket with both arms assigned to a seperate surface.   I could use a material preset to control the opacity of the jacket arms, switching between sleeved and sleevless but to do that I have to navigate back to the content library, find the jacket and the correct preset.   

I more elegate solution would be to control it via a property.    I think I can do this by turning bone visibility on and off but wondered if it was possible to do it on the surface itself as the surface and the bones don't line up satisfactorily.

Thanks for the link Richard, Unfortunately I have no idea how I would apply that code in a practical sense.
