It would be nice to be able to pick objects that are behind glass or water or other objects simply by reclicking/picking.



This is done quite nicely in Maya for example.

Yeah, I think there should be a more intuitive way than having to camscan rampantly and do all sorts of angular acrobatics. :)

Yeah, a shortcut key like "don't pick non opaque objects" would be rather handy for the editor.

Hmm, as for just touching objects, interesting idea but I think low priority. I can't think of many scenarios where that might be necessary.
