Lock focus on selected item

[intussusceptor]

Can I lock focus on selected item in some way? When I attempt to make a precise placement or rotation, some random object in background gets selected all the time.

Ugh!  I totally despise this about the editor sometimes!  I personally don't know of a way to lock focus, but hopefully someone does.  This gets super dicey when you're combining objects to make something.  ☹️

Latest video covers problems, including this. When grabbing, click and hold mouse in place briefly before moving. It lets the editor confirm which object you have. If your editor prefers a certain object, you may have to check your target in the object window, and change position so you camera view gets past that other object. Hope this helps! Watch my latest video for other problem workarounds. 😊

My biggest problem with this is when the editor decides to whisk an unintended item to another room entirely.  I usually just add a new one and hope the old one turns up.  Some had gone missing for weeks before being noticed wherever they ended up.
