Basically what I'm asking is if there's any way to turn off backface selection for objects.


If you see the pic below, I want to be able to select the sphere, but I can't. This is probably some simple setting, but it's late and I can't find it.:confused:

You can change to use "Smallest BBox" as the selection method. It's not the default setting, but is the one I find works best for me. "First Object" picks only what is in front underneath the mouse (the plane and never the sphere, unless you rotate your view). "Through" I think should swap between the plane and then the sphere and then the plane etc if you keep clicking in the same place. Smallest BBox picks the one with the smallest bounding box under the mouse pointer.


HTH!
