Hi, I’m new to Shapr3D. I have been trying to select a few faces for filleting but when I try to select them in selects faces on the other side of the body. It goes into x-ray and I don’t know how to disable this.

As you can see when I try to select the non-filleted faces it also selects the already filleted faces behind the body.

Any way I can fix this? Thanks!

I’m making a gun for a Roblox game so don’t be alarmed.

If you drag the cursor from left to right, you will select all the entire elements that are inside the “square cube.” In that case on the opposit side too.  
Rotate it 90 degrees and select a smaller area from behind.
