Ok, firstly, I have a fully rigged character, how do I completely select the whole lot as at the minute the selection seems to ignore the geometry and take the joints as priority if i drag a selection box over them, component mode is on.

Secondly, Is there a way to turn on 'double sided normals' as when i export geometry such as a box without the lid on, when viewed from the top the inside is transparant this is a real problem.
