Is she using move or turn? She will want to use the turn method…

I have attached a method which demonstrates a blink for an adult person, a teen person, a child, a toddler, and alice.

Please let me know if you continue to have problems…

All the best,
Don Slater

> Unfortunately, it is not possible in Alice 3 to change any one sub-part of an object, due to the construction of models in Alice 3. In Alice 2, the sub-parts of an object were independent objects, linked together using the vehicle property to create the whole object.
> 
> In Alice 3, the models are all one object, with a skeleton of joints to manipulate different parts of the one object. This design choice was made to create objects that would have more realistic animations, (the skin of an object would react more naturally to the movement of the object with this design), but at the cost of being able to manipulate the properties of the ?sub-parts?, such as set the opacity.
