Seleection priority?

[j5ive]

Everytime I try to drag select some vertices the poly object geometry behind also gets selected i presume this is something to do with the selection masks at the top, but so far none has worked, or if it has the next time i select it defaults back to all objects which is very frustrating, any ideas?

backface culling... but you've got to set it in both the preferences and also in the current viewport's settings... and sadly even then it doesn't always work right *shrug*

why not try paint selection?
