Select an Object Through a Surface

You can select an object from a model through a surface by pressing the W key. This function is a one-time function, i.e. you must reselect it if you wish to select more objects through a surface. As an example, trim a profile to a surface through another surface.

1. Select a profile. Select several profiles by holding down the Ctrl key.
2. Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
3. Select Trim to Plane.
4. Move the cursor over the surface, which you want to select through.
5. Press the W key. The program will make the nearest surface transparent. Keep pressing the W key until the desired surface is visible.
6. Click the surface.
