Say I have three different objects that are about the same size right on top of each other. I want to select the farthest third object in. what do I do? I can not get it to highlight. I do not want to bring the third item forwards. Quote Link to comment
0 Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted March 30, 2017 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 30, 2017 If they don't perfectly overlap, then you would just right click on one of the non overlapping edges of the object you wanted and then use Send to Front. If you can't tell if you have it selected or not and Coincident Selection isn't usable for you, then you'd hold your mouse in the same spot and the use 2-3 Send to Backs until you see the object in front that you want.

0 EAlexander Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) How about holding B key to go into x ray mode....? This will let you select through, though three objects can be tricky sometimes.... Edited March 30, 2017 by EAlexander Quote Link to comment
