versionsToOverride	Only this Version	Specifies on which version of the Look File the overrides are reflected.
locationForMaterials	Use asset name	Sets where to import the materials in the scene graph. • Use asset name - the materials are imported in a unique location based on the lookfile asset fields. • User-specified - provides a parameter, userLocation, for you to specify a namespace for the materials.
