Component with prohibition symbol

[Anonymous]

I am having trouble with one component in my model. On the list of components, there is a little red-circle-with-a-slash-through-it symbol on the little white box symbol within that list. Everything had been functioning fine until I went to render the model. This component will not accept any rendering actions.

Wondering what the symbol means, and how I could possibly fix it, such that I can render that component.

Thank you.

If this is the symbol yu are refering to:

Then at some point in time you right-clicked on the component and inadvertantly selected "Selectable/Unselectable". you can change slect that menu item agin to make it selectable.

However, that should not determine if it's rendered. If you also have hidden the component,  the light bulb to the right of the component name is grey instead of yellow. Then it will also not be rendered.
