Coming from 3d crafter pro my new scenery object shows up fine into the game, but once I place it I can't click on it again to move it until I do the bubble select to select everything in the area and delete it.

Does anyone know what causes some objects to become unmovable in Railworks and how to fix it so the player can click on the object again and move it to where they want it.

The item is my new 1964 Pontiac GTO scenery item and I'm not going to release it until I can find a answer to this.

I also recall that PapaExpress had this same problem a while back with his barricade cement wall scenery item he built.

I don't know if it exists on scenery objects also, maybe it helps (from wiki):
Blueprint Pickable
This determines if once placed, you can pick it again.
Recommend setting at True for all objects.

Actually, in the blueprint it is set like that, I'm going to have to investigate it again and see if it acts any differently after I restart the computer.

You need to give it a LOD setting. I suspect you are using the wizard to export, something I recently stopped in favor of the File > Export > Trainworks > IGS method (found in SMM Signal Tutorial). Using this method you prefix 1_xxxx to the group name. With the wizard you need to trick it. Suffix _LOD_3 to the group name and that should work. The non wizard method of exporting gives you total flexibility over what parts of the model you end up in the IGS. The wizard method exports the whole model (in group Main) and you have fewer options.
