I have a book in my scene, which was linked to one character that has set it down.

Now it's time for the next character to pick it up.

However, with the book highlighted, I click on "pick parent" under "LINKS" and I am able to pick any other object or character in the scene as a parent, except for the character I want. I can link and detach and even attach and detach at will, except to this one character.

The notification window reports:
Failed to link. The selected item can not link to itself.

So, to be sure I'm not re-picking the book, I try to pick the character under the scene manager. Same problem.

Right before the problem began happening, I had pressed "pick parent" under the ATTACH heading. Then I realized I did not want to attach, but rather to link. So, I did not select anything and instead went directly to "pick parent" under the LINKS heading.

I wonder if this somehow introduced the glitch?

Anybody have such an issue before?

I have tried closing and re-starting iClone.

Going to try a full re-boot now.

UPDATE:
Full reboot no-go.

So I duplicated the book and was able to link no problem. So I will play with the visibility of each book as a work around.

I'll leave the original book in the scene in case I find a solution to the original problem.

I'm thinking it's a bug that got triggered when I selected "attach" and then did not attach to anyone (see above). Maybe it was a one-off or maybe some additional goof-proofing around that function is needed?

Peace,
Bud
