Is it possible to select an object which is inside another object, without using hide?

you must name your objects, then it's easy to use the "Browser" for select one or more objets inside other ;)

I´m sorry, I can´t find neither the browser or the window selection. I am using the demo, are there disabled features in the demo?

Window selection is just left clciking and dragging in the viewport. A left window drasg will select "only objects completely enclosed in the window. Ctrl+Shift will disable the snap selection to allow window selecting through other objects.

Hi Ekenryd, also see this other recent thread for some more discussion on the variety of options for selecting an obscured object:

http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=3324.1

There's also a video there that shows how window selection works - like Burr mentions though it's pretty straightforward - you just click in an empty area and hold down and drag the mouse.

That window selection method can be useful for selecting a batch of objects instead of only click on them one-by-one and it also works for grabbing obscured objects as well.

- Michael
