Thanks, BurrMan!

That was what I was trying to ask about earlier, but my memory was too vague to convey it properly. But now I know about custom filters AND turning off the auto-picking when mouse clicking.

And yes, it's CTRL + SHIFT.

Thanks Cody! And yup this is the strategy for MoI. There are some good parts and bad parts to it. One of the good parts is it makes for a lower learning curve for beginners and helps a beginner move to an advanced user more gradually.

One of the bad parts is that often advanced users will take a quick look at it and decide "it's a toy".

Something that makes it work well is some stuff that benefits beginning users like having a streamlined workflow and less steps also benefits advanced users who value speed.

Thank you!! That is another trick I use from now on and I am glad that I learned this today :-) I think with this and the other methods you gents brought up here in this thread I am fine regarding selecting hidden lines :)

Cheers,

Axel
