      Here are 4 approaches which can help visually to select “internal” surfaces of a design. 1. Hide some faces: click on the faces, right-click and select Face > Hide Face 2. Clip with a volume: select an entity, right-click and select Clip with Volume > Set Using Selection. The volume can be resize or move. 3. Clip with planes: use planes to clip,right-click and select Clip with Plane. The plane can then be shifted around using Move. 4. Simply select the body, right-click to set it to transparent. Please see attached movies the options 2, 3 and 4.
