From below scene, the male character I'm trying to possess is way too close to the stage, preventing me from getting a full view of the dancer. Is there a way to move him AND the chair further from stage, or delete them altogether (I've figured out how to delete the male character, but can't seem to select / get rid of the chair) so that I can have an unobstructed free camera view?

Also, how do I move objects in a locked grid / straight line? This is the scene "SexoBeat 2022" if relevant. Thank you very much.

You can turn on grid movement by selecting an atom and going to the "Move" tab, then change the "Position Grid Mode" option to Local or Global. The atom should then start snapping to a grid when moving.

Another thing you can do if you want to move both the man and chair in a straight line simultaneously is to use a "Parent Atom". First you'd create an "Empty" atom, then rotate it so its blue Z axis is orientated the same direction as the man and chair are facing. Next select the man and go to the "Control" tab, change "Parent Atom" to the "Empty" you created, then do the same for the chair. Now you can move the "Empty" on the Z axis and both the man and chair should move along with it.

If you're having trouble selecting an atom then...

If you're having trouble selecting an atom then it's most likely set to "Hidden". In that case, from the main UI go to the "Select" menu (mouse cursor icon) then toggle "Show Hidden". All atoms should become selectable after doing that. Also, if you press "T" or click the crosshair icon from the main UI you'll be able to see all the selection nodes within the scene.

If you still can't select the chair then it's possible it's a part of another object. Some scenes can have a whole room/environment that's just an imported object or CUA (Custom Unity Asset). However, you might be able to use the CUA Editor plugin at least to delete/disable some parts depending on how the object was made.
