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

[Wanda Dann]

Hi Nick,

Select the imported object in the object tree. Then, in the properties 
tab on the details panel,
expand the Seldom Used Properties section and change isFirstClass to 
true.  That should do it.

The firstClass property determines whether an object can be directly 
movable (not having to
be a sub-part of a larger object).

Hope that helps...
Wanda
