5 Ways To Lock Objects in Cinema 4D

[@GroupeQuebec_R_BusGroupeQuebec]

You have NO IDEA how long I tried to find this info Why I didn't search before I don't know but now I can have my pull the trailer without sinking in the street or dance on the roof of the house. I finish my Beach Condo project, and it will be MY PLEASURE to mention you in the credit, thank you.

Here are three more ways I use that also act as locks
1. Layers: lock/hide, prevent selection, etc groups.
2. Interaction Tag > Disable Viewport Selection.
3. Cluster Object: select all your mesh vertices, then go to Character > Commands > Create Cluster.
BONUS: Bind the mesh to a joint, then hide the joints.

These are great! I definitely never knew about 2 and 3. Thanks Joel!

hey i did layers then hide but i can still select it and now its not where the rest of the objects are. How do I undo It?

[@cgzero7]

@@karosen8443 not sure without a scene example. It sounds like you just need to remove that object from the layer. Use the Lock icon to make the layer unselectable. Layers are binary, non-destructive so there is no reason you should need to undo anything-simply just on and off.

@@cgzero7 whenever i lock the layer all the parts are still selectable.

@@karosen8443 Did you add all the parts to the layer? The tag color on each object layer should match the layer color. ruclips.net/video/WVK_X1azoHY/видео.html
