Guys be careful when placing statues; this is something you may want to mention to your customers as you sell them. As far as I know this issue only exists when placing it as a city decoration, not dropping in the house.

The Large sentinal statues, and other of it size, require LOTS of room or the object will become un-selectable. Well not unselectable but that dreaded 'you can't see object' error.

I dropped two sentinal statues a good building-block apart. I could have drove a Falumpaset between them with lots of room to spare on either side.

YET, they are now too close together to work with individually. I cannot align, nor pick up these two statues. I continue to get the dreaded 'cannot see object' message. I have tried all angles and all variations of things that I've always done when I've had this issue in houses. Nothing.

These things are not touching, not by a long shot. Others that I placed around the city are alignable and removable, but these two are not. My assumption is their proximity to each other is interfering with these abilities.

Be Warned.. Make sure you place your statues VERY far apart.

Thanks for the info

I have backpack sign all over my City Tent telling people to be careful with placement. I put dimension info in each description section. Half the people don;t read any of it...even though my main shop and city tent hae ALLCAPS pleads for people to READ the post information.

Try targetting it and /pickup command?

Try this...it happened to me also.

/movefurniture back 5 or forward 5

that seperates items for me everytime i get that error.

Yar, just move the bloody thing until it's very far from other objects. I dropped a large fountain in a large house and had to move it until it wasn't touching any walls and stairs until I got the pickup option.

Yep, they're insane on the placement. I've never seen one where moving it will not fix. Though you may need to move it quite a bit

I had a similar problem once with furniture in a house. I couldn't even pick the stuff up. You might want to try to see if there is a / command that will do this for you since that overrode the radial and let me move things around that way.

I have done this and got the message, just try moving it around and you will be able to pick it up. I think it needs to be in the structures center of alignment. Take a look at the pictures of the gardens to get a feel for the center of alignment. They are in the city stuff on the front page of this site.

stand inside the statue and do a /pickup when you have it targeted........... That always works for me.
