Unable to select only mesh on Rigged Object I'm new to blender.   I'm working with a rigged model that I've downloaded from a sharing site.  I'm trying to move the model from one layer to another for compositing purposes.  When I attempt to select the rigged character, however, and then move it using the "M" key, only the underlying rig gets moved to the new layer.  The mesh is left behind.

When I attempt to select the mesh in object mode, however, I cannot.   If I go in to edit mode, however, the layers are no longer available.   

Any thoughts?
There are couple of scenarios that this may happen:


Make sure the mesh and armature are parented, to do this, select the mesh first then shift and select the armature then hitctrl+P then Automatic weighting
The object you are trying to select is not selectable, do fix this you need to check the selectable mouse pointer icon beside the object in the object outliner view as shown:
