How to select a hidden interface?

Hi all, I am new to comsol 4.1 and I have a question and need your help.
My question is how to use cursor to select an interface between two connected blocks directly on the geometry.
Is there a function that can temporarily make one block invisible so that I can select the face of the other one easily?
Thanks a lot,

Hi
there are several ways in v4.
Indeed you have a "hide object" (= geoemtry) or "hide entity" (= FEM geometrical Entity check the doc for the explanations, these terms are improtant to understand and differentiate) in the "Definition View" node (try a right click, in general in v4, try right clicks on all nodes, and sub-nodes, and sometimes try again if you have changed the physics, new sub-node might be activated !)
But you can also clik several times on the geoemtry, you will select each traversed face one by one (and loop back) each time a new entity will be highlighted (red new selection, green an alerady selected item) blue is for the entities you have selected and accepted. Use the entity type Domain, Boundary, Edge (if applicable i.e. 3D) and Points. You select these by the icons upper right part of the graphics view

Good luck
