Well done on the release! I upgraded immediately once I found out.
In MODO one can select only what they can see. In wireframe view you can select all but in shaded mode you can select ‘only’ what you can see. This makes for a much simpler selection process. I am constantly selecting ‘close by’ edges or verts while in shaded mode. Very unproductive.
It would be great to only be able to select what is visible in shaded mode.
Hi Paul -
Is that “select” as in “snap-to”?
If so, make sure that the Rhino Options > Modeling Aids > Object snaps > Snap to occluded objects option is turned off.

No, it’s Select as in Select. Not snap. I don’t wish to select ‘occluded’ items be them, edges, verts, faces, etc.
so only select stuff that is front facing and visible to the camera in use, correct?
Yes, correct.
Hi Kyle, Paul,
I thing we definitely need this, and I also thing that there should be a way (via keyboard modifiers?) to be explicit about wanting to select visible (most foreground & front-facing) vs. select through.
Much more importantly I think we need to be able to hide subobjects (faces, edges) so we can select things that are inside other things. Because there’s no way otherwise to get to those no matter what selection criteria discussed here we align on.
Recently I have a situation similar to this in Rhino and it was a real nightmare to deal with, and here’s how Modo deals with that so easily by simply letting you hide faces to keep working, designing, exploring, loving life…
Best,

Great video…love to see it all in Rhino.
@gustojunk We all live in hope. Perhaps the new year will bring you great joy.
hi Bob, That’s great to hear! Speaking of hope and joy, I hope we can all get vaccines soon so I can go visit you all again. We’ll need to help those Seattle area restaurants recover doing our part.
Merry Christmas!!!
Gustavo
Yep. I hope most are still there by the time we get back to Seattle.
Hide is definitely not working correctly on SubD subobjects. I’ll investigate and fix.
The Rhino bug tracking issue is RH-62094.
hi Dale,
Like ‘mi mamá’ always says: “eres el mas quejón y el mas malcriado” (you are most nagging one, yet the most spoiled).
RE: your YT report “and maybe on other SubD subobjects” this is what Modo does, and I think it’s the same for Blender and Maya, using verts and edges to expand hiding chunks faster than hitting faces:
Saludos,
Gustavo
