[Bug] Can't select Mentor Processing Core after placing on medium narrow hook

I have found 2 problems with the Mentor Processing Core decoration. 1) I placed the Mentor Processing Core on a medium narrow hook in my Yavin IV stronghold and now can not pick it back up. It's there permanently. I've tried everything to select it but it seems to have some invisible barrier around it which also covers up the medium narrow hook itself. I'm sure I could pick it up if I selected the Pick Up All Decorations in this room option, but that would also pick up the other 874 decorations I currently have placed. It took me a week to decorate that stronghold so that ain't gonna happen. Thankfully, I was able to decorate around it and leave it where its at but this seriously should be fixed. 2) You can not view the decoration in the preview window. The preview window is just blank.

Firstly, I can confirm the bug with that particular decoration. Also, if you walk up to it, you will notice that the collision box is a lot bigger than the actual item, that may have something to do with it, but yes, it can not be interacted with after placing. Secondly, you are right in that if you try and clear a room, it will wipe the entire SH, had a friend that done it yesterday, they said they went in and out of rooms and it comes up on your screen that you are in a specific spot and the tag above the mini-map also shows that specific room, but it still wiped the entire SH back to 0%.. Ouch is what I said, &##@ is what they said.

I figured out how to pick it up. If you zoom all the way in on one side (for me it was my right, left didn't work) you should be able to click the hook. Huge relief!

Huge relief! It worked! Finally! Although, it was the left side that allowed me to actually select it. LOL. But yeah, you have to zoom all the way in on your camera and then slowly move your cursor all over the blue hook area till you see it change to the finger pointer cursor which allows you to select the item. Thank you so much for that insight. Cookies are coming in the mail. BIOWARE, You still need to fix this. Plus, not to mention you can't preview this in the Decorations preview window. That would be nice if you fixed that too.

This thread is still relevant and the only place google can find this information. The only change I found with the above info is that the entire visible hook seems to be interactable when I get up close to it and zoom all the way in. Seems to be helpful for other tricky pick up hooks/decor too.
