alice-teacher Possible Answers to Several 3.2.5 Questions

[Michael L Owen]

 Several teachers have indicated problems getting 3.2.5 to work the way they want it to. Most have simple answers.
 
Building Dice- 
Using cubes, shrinking them to size, and adding small colored dots is the best option. Using billboards, trying to get them configured into a cube, and adding dots would infinitely harder to do, and the programming necessary to do the throw and upside calculations would be much longer.
 
Can't select an object dragged into a room- 
If you open a room world, move the camera forward to the middle, and then do a full turn of the camera, you will see four walls. The reason you can't click an object in the room may be because you are looking through, and thus clicking, the wall. Options are 
  1) Move the camera up over the wall, look down.
  2) Move the camera into the room, or closer to the object in question.
  3) Use the object dropdown box to select the one you want, but you still won't be able to move it with mouse.
