i did not know that when objects are overlapping and you click alt + rmb than blender gives you a pulll down menu with all objects behind the curser. so you can select which one you want!
it also works with shift selection as well!
i did not read about it so i thought i should post it here!
nice trick !
there is a lot of small tricks in blender that are really useful but hard to find.
(like the shift-ctrl that works on the sliders, or the value that acts as sliders)
The Alt-click menu is new, contributed for 2.35 by Campbell ‘ideasman’ Barton with tweaks by Ton. So, it won’t be in the printed manual unless the publishers have a nice time travel device
