Selecting Objects and Surfaces That Lie Inside Other Objects
To select objects and surfaces that lie inside other objects (such as an object that lies within an air box, a conductive shield, or the background object), do one of the following:
- Make the objects on the outside of the model invisible using the View > Visibility commands. This is useful when you want to select objects using the mouse. Since the mouse cannot select invisible objects, you can select the interior surfaces or objects by clicking on them.
- Use the Edit > Select Objects > By Name command to select objects or surfaces inside the model.
- Use the Next Behind command on the shortcut menu. This selects the object that lies behind the one you initially selected. This command does nothing if no objects have previously been selected.
