How do I select an object underwater for editing? (The water always gets selected when I rt click)

[BarronBlack1488304041]

I dropped an object in the water and it's below the waterline. When I try to right-click on it to edit it and move it all I can select is the water itself. How do I select the object underwater and not the water?

Hello BarronBlack. Just stand beside the object, drive your camera using the down arrow under the water and select it. Alternatively click the object while you press ALT by your keyboard and with the wheel of your mouse zoom in it.

Hold your breath, dive in.  Click on the object as if there was no water around.  It's OK you will not drown.

temporarily derender the water if camming is difficult.

advanced menu > rendering > types > water

but imo good camming skills goes a long way. ctrl+alt+shft - zoom/pan/orbit. with a little practising it gets second nature =)

eta: there you go; i had to be inworld to see what keys i actually use when i cam, i don't notice anymore, i just do it without thinking. so had to remove the "+shift" part. sorry about that :matte-motes-nerdy:
