alice-teacher Importing a part of object, unable to move in world

[Fisher, Edward S.]

I tried it with the post from the divided highway sign.  I was able to use the post move command successfully.  If you would post your code and computing environment it would help.

Subject: alice-teacher Importing a part of object, unable to move in world

Greetings all,

I'm running into an issue with Alice 2.4. Whenever me, or my students save a part of an object.  (for instance, a pole from the traffic signs)  and then import the object into our world.   We are unable to move the object.

Is there a easier fix for this?  I'm assuming it has something to do with the model's center being modified.

A temporary, but painful solution has been assigning that part as a vehicle to another object (A shape )  and then setting that shape's property is showing to false, when we are done moving it where it needs to be moved, but it is very tedious.

Thank you!
