So I am still having an issue with selecting body parts; I think it started to happen after one of the Pro 2014 updates, and i see it has carried over into Pro 11.
When a figure's body completely hides certain limbs, i have to GUESS whether or not i have that limb selected- because it won't show me the outline of the limb through the figure's body. Selecting hidden body parts used to be quite easy when you could still see the outline. Now i have to literally rotate the camera so i can clearly see whichever part i want to pose, otherwise they are nearly impossible to select.
Any idea how i could restore the "transparency" so to speak, of figures so that i could get that functionality back?

Hidden body parts show up for me with a white outline around them. Maybe there's a setting you have turned off (or on) somewhere? You can also right-click and a menu will show up where you can choose Select and it will give you a sub menu of all the actors directly beneath your cursor that you can choose from. It works for me in 2014 and 11 pro. This is assuming you're using windows.

FYI the feature that's being cranky here is called "Prelighting". I'm seeing this too. We're on it and will have a fix out asap. Sorry for the trouble. If you have time sending your system specs to support and telling them you are having trouble with prelighting may help us track down the cause.
Thanks!
