Blender for IMVU furniture tutorial

(1/3) > >>

JanXuan:
Hello,

I have a little problem at 10.20 in the video "Making simple furniture for IMVU."
I am using Blender 2.78 and the katbits template.
When I switch to Edit mode, the selected cube does not change color, but the orange outlines turn green instead.
What could have gone wrong?

Not sure if the name of the block is important. In the video it comes as (1) block.MESH, in my version it is called (1)blockFLOOR.MESH.

kat:
You mean this "making simple IMVU furniture" tutorial video? So with the Cube selected when you press "Tab" and enter "Edit Mode" the mesh doesn't change at all? Hmm.. odd, the green outline usually means the object is part of a "Group" (a collection of objects), but that only displays in "Object Mode".

To see whats going on, with the object selected (in Object Mode) go into "Object Data" properties (click the orange Cube icon in the panel to the right where all the other Properties options are). If the object is part of a Group this can be confirmed by looking at the "Groups" sub-section (scroll down if necessary), an entry will appear here. Click the "X" to remove the Group association.

Also make sure to right-click the cube to select it, then press "Tab" to enter/exit Edit Mode.

JanXuan:
In Object Mode it is selected and outlined orange.
There are no groups.
The object is indicated as parent.

kat:
Hmm that's odd. You can clear the Parent attribute by selecting the object (in Object Mode again) pressing "Alt+P" to "Clear Parent". Beyond that not sure what's going on, a colour change usually indicates a modification of an element, and if you've yet to actually do anything, and you're using the example file, there shouldn't be any markers beyond the aforementioned. Send the file to imvu@katsbits.com and I'll have a gander.

JanXuan:
Thank you. File sent.
