Prevent selection of sub-object

I have some game objects in my scene which have several child meshes.

I want to give my scene to another person who will build design some new scenes from my building blocks.

The problem is that some times, when you click on one of the child meshes, it selects the child mesh, and moves it independently of the parent object. For example: Move the car wheels without the moving the car.

To make things simple for my level designer, I would like to make it so you cannot select/move certain child objects. (only their parents). A level designer has no buisness messing about with the wheels. If he does so, it’s only by accident.

Is there a way to achieve this?

You can use the SelectionBaseAttribute to define a base object that will be selected instead of a child gameobject.
