collisions. If neither of the models involved in the collision has
manually resolve the collision using
model B.

Selecting models
Selecting models (picking) refers to clicking on models in a 3D cast member. Because models are
objects that exist within a 3D cast member and a 3D sprite, they are not normally sensitive to
mouse clicks. Normally it is only the entire sprite that is sensitive to mouse clicks.
You can use scripts to determine specifically which models have been clicked when a user clicks
within a 3D sprite. In practice, this allows for changing model positions to make it appear that an
action such as a button being pushed or a door being opened has taken place, or to allow the user
to select or drag an object. Picking can be accomplished by using cast member or camera
methods.
