NEX and Maya selection problem

nacire

Hey quick question. I've been using NEX recently and while I'm loving it, I'm finding issues with the selection tools. NEX seems to highlight and pick which selection I want almost as a snap selection of sorts. The problem is sometimes I just can't get it to highlight the vert/edge I want no matter how long I fight the thing. Any suggestions? I really just want it to pick the one my mouse is touching.

the only time i run into this problem is if there is an object in front of the area i want to select that is being clipped by the camera so i cant see it.

example, i want to move a vert on the ribcage, i have the model turned to the side, the arm of the character is blocking the ribcage, but even when i zoom in so close i cant see the arm, the geometry is still there, preventing my selection.
