Selecting thru model?

Selecting thru model?

Selecting thru model?

(OP)
Hi all,

Is there a function to select "thru" the model?
What I mean is selecting a face which is on the other side of the model
without turning the model.

Thnx

RE: Selecting thru model?

Place your cursor over the area that the face lies behind and hit the up arrow key till the correct surface is slected and then with out moving the mouse button left click.  You might be able to hit the enter key as well.

RE: Selecting thru model?

Place your cursor on an area of the model that has detail behind it that you want to select, then:

- press the 'up' arrow key
- keep pressing 'up' arrow to scroll through elements

Alternatively, you can pick an element that appears in the list.

You could also switch the display to Wireframe.
