Title: Select through the object
Post by: paulrus on January 05, 2012, 10:33:22 pm

Can anyone tell me how to turn on the ability to select vertices, faces or edges through an object?

It's the default in Softimage to be able to select backfacing items (though I think that's disabled if the object is not in wireframe mode).

Thanks,

Paul

Is there a setting that makes that the default action?  I much prefer it when I'm in wireframe.

Thanks!

Paul
