Hi Pierre,

re:

But that won't be the case when you're doing a boolean difference because the outer part will have been already selected previously and won't be targeted for selection again at this point.

There's a mechanism in MoI called "selection lock" which is used to screen out objects that were previously selected to avoid this type of problem.

Ahhh!
Enlightening!
Thanks!

Hello Pierre,

and there is also a difference in the direction of the window selection: Dragging a window from Left to right selects everything in the box - From right to left: everything in the box and also everything is crossed by the box.

Have a nice day

A technique that I use is to name the parts, then I can select from the object pane. Doesn't matter whether the part is visible on screen or not.

Mike.
