Can't make my mesh unselectable. July 23, 2014, 5:12 a.m.

it seems strange at first, an explanation is that the subnet flag allows you select the subnet node, i.e. the cylinder and the null; if the subnet node green flag is turned off then you can only select the null node.

Okay. I see how it works now. How strange and not exactly intuitive.

Thanks for explaining it to me.

that's the correct behaviour of subnets.

Sounds crazy but I guess it must be true.

Why do they have the selectable flag if it is just ignored?

Okay. I have now created a small project that demonstrates the problem I am having. If you load the attached file and click on the cylinder in the scene view it will be selected even though the selectable flag is off.

This is only true if the geometry node is within a subnet. If the node is at the /obj level then it can't be selected.

I am starting to think that this is either a bug or designed behavior.
