Question How do a I apply Geometry Approximation properties to multiple objects?

Answer

Please follow these steps:

1. Select all the objects and create a Group (ctrl + g).
2. Select the Group, and invoke the Get>Property>Geometry Approximation cmd; the Geometry Approximation property editor will open.
3. Edit the Geometry Approximation parameters and options as desired. Now the Geometry Approximation properties will be propagated to all the objects contained within the Group.

Note: A Geometry Approximation node will be created for the Group. You can select this node and hit the return key to open the Geometry Approximation property editor for editing purposes.

More Information

Keep in mind if you open and Explorer window (supra key 8) you can always drag and drop an other polygon object into the Group, and the Geometry Approximation properties will automatically be propagated to the new object.
