Ghosting and Unghosting Parts
You can apply the ghost effect to some parts so that other hidden parts can be seen through.
Parts that are ghosted will look of the fixed transparency like parts with some opacity level applied; however, they will be excluded for selection in the viewport. They can be selected in the Assembly Tree pane.
