## Signs 

Drag the arrow across **the longest side** of the object. Dragging the arrow across the shorter side of the object will produce a small 3D box that doesn't include all points.

## Static objects (sequence tasks)

Objects that are considered static do not move throughout the sequence. Use the **traffic light** button to find and mark frames where static objects are not visible.
