Selecting Hidden Polygons (in Max).

HausFly · Feb 2009

If I have a model with a lot of overlapping pieces, does anyone know of a way to select faces that will never be seen by the camera/viewport? The end goal would be to delete them but I may need to add some buffer space for smoothing, which is why selecting them first would be better.

if you cant grab the faces directly, try grabbing the surrounding edges and use ring and loop... or if there is a cut in geometry then you could grab the border. Then hit Ctrl and click on the poly icon to convert selected edges to selected polys.

then grow / shrink polys and use marquee to deselect ect. thats what I do anyway.
