Is there no option to lock child objects for 3d objects?

I've been running through tutorials..."Dodge The Creeps", and "Creating a Simple 3D Game" (from BornCG youtube). I've noticed that on the 3D game, I don't seem to have the option to "make sure the objects children are not selectable", but I do in the 2D game of Dodge The Creeps.

Is this not an option with 3D objects? That would seem....very strange... (I hope I'm just missing something simple)

The 3.2 dev. builds add this feature to the 3D engine.

It probably won't be in an official build until that version is released.

Ahh, thanks @Ace_Dragon . Just making sure I wasn't overlooking something.

For the record, the 2D and 3D editors are completely separate – they don't really have any code in common. This likely explains the inconsistencies in terms of supported features.

I wonder if it would be possible for 2D and 3D to have a common backend for basic operations (transform, grouping, ect...)?

You can't unify all the code due to the many unique attributes each editor has, but perhaps some unification in the area of usability and workflow can be done.

Thanks what I'm thinking. It's not a deal killer per se, but it would be nice not to accidentally just move my collision box instead of the whole object :)

I get that the 2d/3d editors already don't have any code in common, but I would hope the functionality could be made similar in both.
