Unable to select parts of the figure with the universal tool

CB&Q

I' ve made a new character preset and saved it. When I merge it into a scene, I cannot select it with the universal tool, only by selecting the body parts through the scene tab. I've made characters before and they all worked fine. And no, the Genesis 2 figure is not "locked" with the X in the tab. I must of clicked on something inadvertently that some how prevents me from using the tool on this figure. Other figures in the scene are accessible with the universal tool. I can use the surface tool, on this figure, to select areas to change materials/shaders but not the universal one.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance, grv

It sounds as if the bones have been made unselectable - in the Scene pane, does the arro icon next to the eye icon have a tick or a cross?

It has the tick , not the X. Thanks for answering.

Is there anything fitted or parented to teh problem figure? If theer is, try removing them one by one and see if any of them fixes the issue

I'ts just a basic nude with nothing parented or fitted to it (no hair or clothing).  I even switched out the surface materials to see if that had any effect. It didn't. It only allows me to "select all" when using the tool, not indivdual parts.

Sorry, I've no idea why one character would do that beyond the ideas I've already suggested. Would you be willing to post the preset?
