In some scenes I can't grab a model's face or arms to move them around. Any way to activate this? Thank you!

Hi and thank you for answering.

In some scenes it is not possible to grab a model's head or arms to move them around (by using my arms and grabbing).

Any way around this?

Thank you!

Likely ”Allow Possess/Grab” is turned off for some or all of the controls. Some creators (including myself) often do that to prevent you (and themselves!!) from accidentally destroying the scene. It might ruin carefully created animation alignment, etc. If you want to make changes, you can just reenable the checkbox.

Atom Control “Isolate Edit This Atom” Opens an Isolated Atom Edit window with options for disabling other atoms in game to make it easier to edit the selected atom. "Name Space" in the corner of "Isolated Atom Edit" displays the name of your selected Atom “Freeze Physics: Freezes...

Thank for taking the time to help.

All that is already ticked on.

Interactable is ticked on.
Position and rotation are on.
Allow Grab/Possess are on.

Also, to add some info, I can grab and move the head around if the scene is not started yet or if I freeze it while playing, just the grabbing gets autimatically turned off when I unfreeze the scene back.

Thanks.

Ah, its a scene with Timeline animation? The animation overrides whatever you do. An animation is nothing else than a long list of positions for each of the control nodes that tell each node where to be at what time. You could try to disable/delete animation for particular nodes you want to control manually.

Yes! Thank you! This worked.
