      Hello fellow creators,

      Am I mistaken? It seems I used to be able to add a protection tag to a mesh, and it would become un-selectable in the viewport making life easy when selecting rig splines... Please guide me in the direction to achieve this.

      Thanks everybody!

        Hi tone-dust,

        The Protection Tag allows for selection but prevents position, rotation and scale changes or limits those.

        My suggestion would be to place the object on a Layer and lock the Layer.

        All the best

        Cheers

          This is 100x better than the protection tag - if it ever worked how I remember?
