Kind of a newbie question (I'm very new to this program, and 3D work in general), but how do you select only visible geometry when modeling in houdini? The select tool will automatically select geometry on the other side of your model unless you click on each primitive or edge individually, which can be a real pain for asymmetrical models.
Thanks,

If you RMB on the Component selector button, midway down the menu you will see options for front/back facing geometry. The hotkey is also ‘b’.
