    Is it possible to have something be visible in the scene, but not selectable (except through the Outliner)?

      You can lock a group/instance so it can be selected but nothing can happen to it [except 'unlock'] โ“

        That's what I just figured out. I'm working with some people that are use to having a visible grid, so I created a grid object (group). I've locked it to prevent it from "opening", but it'd be best if it wasn't even selectable (but allowed snapping to).

        (I wish SketchUp had a grid option like Banzai or other editors -- I know people frown on that here, but it's very handy for certain developments and quickly knowing what the current unit snap is).
