selecting vertices

is there any way to ONLY select the vertices on the mesh infront of you, and not accidently select the ones behind the vertices that you really want? When working with a complicated mesh, i find it really easy to select the vertices that i dont want along with the ones that i do

To my knowledge there isn’t such an easy way to do so (but perhaps there is one that I’m not aware of yet, you never know…:P)…

When I work with very complex Meshes I just hide the vertices that I do not want to work with, so I can make my life more easier and to make sure there isn’t any chance of selecting them accidentally…

I don’t know, maybe someone else can help you more…

C y’a…

Hide the back half of your object by selecting those verts and using the HKey.
ALT-HKey will unhide them.

And if you want the verts of faces go into face mode (F), select the face RMB or Shft-RMB and Tab into edit mode to see selected verts.
