Selecting internal surfaces

Selecting internal surfaces

Selecting internal surfaces

(OP)
Hello all I am new to Autodesk inventor 12

This is a very simple question, but would be useful to know how to select hidden surfaces which are covered by other surfaces. It's easy when you now how smile thanks.

RE: Selecting internal surfaces

Part environment?
Assembly environment?

Can you use the Select Other tool, Selection Filters, or temp section?

RE: Selecting internal surfaces

(OP)
Thanks for your reponse rollupswx, I am refering to both the part and assembly enviroment. The only way I have been able to achieve this so far is to hover my mouse over the area of interest and then a drop down menu appears with the options, however, it is still difficult to distingish between faces, especially if one face is in contact with another face.

Is this what you mean by select other tool.

Thanks.
