Nothing to export, 0/7 objects selected? When I try to export this item as a collada, nothing exports. It will sometimes go through with the export (when I export as collada - default) but nothing is actually in the file. When I try to export as collada - avastar I get : 'Nothing to export' and the option to export 'Selection only' is grayed out.

I noticed that when the item is selected, in the top bar it says Objects : 0/7 which I assume means its not registering the object even though its physically there.

Any suggestions?
I identified that there is an issue when I import a collada, and then save the file as .blend. When I reopen the .blend file, the collada object is not editable like shown above. How to fix it, I'm still not sure. I had to delete the object and re-import the collada, losing my rigging and uvs.
