Select through Transparency
You can select opaque objects through transparent objects. This includes
opaque components through transparent components in an assembly as well
as interior faces, edges, and vertices through transparent faces in a
part.
As you move the pointer over opaque geometry that is behind transparent
geometry, the opaque faces, edges, and vertices highlight. Click to select
the highlighted geometry in the graphics area.

For purposes of selection, transparent means more than 10% transparent.
Entities less than 10% transparent are considered opaque.
To select geometry on a transparent entity with an opaque object behind
it, press Shift when selecting.

If the entire model is opaque or transparent, right-click and choose
Select Other.
