You disabled the occluding mesh from the selection code... thats why.

Thanks for looking Ton.
Im sorry if i sound a little dense, but im not sure exactly what you mean.
Do you mean that the dirt_lp mesh has the "restrict/allow selection in the 3d view" toggled to not selectable?
If so the same thing happens when it on.

Does the fact that the chain_lp is occluded by the Dirt_lp not matter because they are separate objects?
When i join them as one object the selection works as normal.
Could you please explain a little further.

Thanks again :)

I'm an idiot... it's not the 'restrict' flag, it's the fact that for editmode selection we draw the active object totally separated in a selection buffer, so you can always select things. It's a convention that doesn't always work as expected, but it does make drawing selection buffers fast and predictable.

Ahh ok...that makes more sense :)
Thanks for taking another look Ton.
