 All Objects: three flags have been added to all spatial objects.  They are:
-* ExcludeUsersFromVolume (no users will be permitted to move inside the volume) - they will "bounce back" if they attempt to enter
+* ExcludeUsers (no users will be permitted to move inside the volume) - they will "bounce back" if they attempt to enter
-* ExcludeOtherObjectsFromVolume - this does the same thing for other moving objects, like things you grab, path moves, etc.
+* ExcludeOtherObjects - this does the same thing for other moving objects, like things you grab, path moves, etc.
 * ExcludeWhenInvisible - this means that even when you make an object Visible = false, exclusion still works.  So, you can make an invisible collision volume.
-Zone: the flag DisallowFreemove has been added.  When this is on, users in the zone cannot fly but are forced to move around on the ground or using waypoints.
+Zone: the flag DisallowFreemove has been added (not currently in the PropertyEditor).  When this is on, users in the zone cannot fly but are forced to move around on the ground or using waypoints.

 * '''Mesh''' an object that is a 3D model imported from a Collada (.dae) file (default model is a jacks game piece)
 * '''Entity''' an object that is an animated 3D model imported from a Collada (.dae) file. Entity: Mesh which has animation.  Methods are there for playing animations, etc.  You can load a mesh with animations into a Mesh, but then you just get a static Mesh. Only Entity lets you see and play with animations. (default model is a teddybear)
-* '''Skybox''' - this object has an image that surrounds the zone
+* '''Skybox''' - this object has an image that surrounds the zone - this is what you see in the distance when you are in a zone. The default is a cloudy sunset. This image is a jpg or png image that is 4096 x 3072. you change the image by altering the ResourceLocator property of the skybox0 object using the PropertyEditor.
