You didn’t really have to do all that tedious work to select something. We designed the Select Other behavior specifically for selecting those hard-to-reach areas in your design without needing to spin your model around and getting nauseous.  <\/FONT><\/P>

To invoke Select Other, just press and hold the Left Mouse Button (aka LMB…without dragging!) for a second, and the Select Other dialog will pop up:<\/FONT><\/P>
