<p>Some students are having a problem with Windows version of Alice 3.2.5. When they add objects to a scene, it doesn't let them select the object. It keeps going back to the selecting "this" in the object list. Anyone else seeing this problem? Also, it is
not on all computers.</p>

<div>Something to be aware of when working with billboards in Alice 3. When creating the billboard, you are given options to “paint” both the front and back side of the billboard. (See attached screen shot) Be sure to choose a paint (even if it is a side you
do not anticipate seeing in your animation) for the back, or the billboard may not render correctly.

Don is absolutely right... no dice in the gallery. After reading this<br class="">
thread, however, I began<br class="">
to think about the possibility of making your own die using a couple of<br class="">
the shapes in the Gallery.<br class="">
<br class="">
I did this once in Alice 2, but then we built a die for that gallery and<br class="">
I threw my "custom made"<br class="">
in the trash.<br class="">
<br class="">
Here is the idea:<br class="">
1. Create a box object but change its size to a small cube.<br class="">
2. Position small discs (change size and make a black color) to be the<br class="">
dots on each side.<br class="">
Make the vehicle of each disc be the cube, so when the die is<br class="">
tossed (combination of turn and roll) the discs stick to the<br class="">
cube.<br class="">
3. Write procedures to toss the die and determine which side is up.<br class="">
<br class="">
This would take some time and patience... but I think it would work.<br class="">
Maybe one of your students would like this as<br class="">
a project?<br class="">
<br class="">
If you get it to work, perhaps you would be willing to save it out as a<br class="">
custom class and share it with<br class="">
teachers on this list?<br class="">
<br class="">
Best wishes,<br class="">
