I have an object that I cannot select nor manipulate. I can get into Edit Mode by using the Outliner however it is useless since I cannot Move it as an object. Seperating, duplicating etc the selection in edit mode doesn't do anything either.

See for yourself: enter image description here enter image description here

    Your Gif is cropped in a way that might obscure the answer. When you select the visible objects there is an eye we can see. Next to the eye should be an arrow/cursor & a camera symbol. If the arrow/cursor is grey you have restricted selection. Just click it again to make it active. – Patdog May 23 '17 at 20:13

  • Stackexchange doesn't allow me to upload gifs. I added 2 screenshots. No the object is not hidden. H and alt H dont solve the problem. – AzulShiva May 24 '17 at 04:20

See the icon that looks like an arrow next to the eye on the outliner?

enter image description here

If that icon is ghosted the object cannot be selected. Click on the icon to enable it

These icons are switches:

The Eye icon is to toggle object visibility on the 3D viewport.

The Arrow Icon toggles selectability.

The Camera Icon toggles rendering.

Please take a moment to read more on the Blender Manual
