Is there any way to select an object in Edit that is underneath another invisible object?

Thanks

First, turn on Highlight Transparent so you can see the invisible object. After that, there are several thing you could do:

1. If you're good with camera control, you can simply maneuver the camera under the top prim to grab the bottom one.

OR

2. You could move the top prim out of the way, pull out the bottom one, and the put the top one back in place by selecting it and pressing ctrl-Z to undo the movement.

OR

3. You could select both objects by dragging a selection box around the whole thing and then shift-click the top prim to deselect it.
