I'm not a new user but I figure this was probably a safe place to post this. I have somehow over the last two years managed to mess up my preferences or tool settings or something to the point where I can no longer select components unless the normal is visible by the camera. I was wondering if anyone could help me out.
Sadly this didnt work. Under the Polygon menu while in Face MOde, I checked Select > Selection Contraints > and Reset the settings. Still unable to select the backfaces. It seems like I can only select faces in which the normal is at least slightly facing the camera. If I attempt to select a backface and there is a face pointed towards the camera behind it, I will select it instead of the backface poly.
