Select all layers upon selection

Question

So I have this asset, which is single object in blender

and when I use Select Box on one part of object it only selects top layer

but all others that are not visible, are not selected

so the question is - how to select all layers of object below the cursor, even those that are not visible/obscured by other layers?

So I asked this question on OpenVFX discord and got my answer - I need to switch to xray mode

$\begingroup$ You can also use ALT-Z to switch in and out of x-ray mode (and SHIFT-Z for wireframe but that on its own will not enable x-ray mode). In your case you could also hover over one of those objects and press 'L' (linked) to select the whole object. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ thanks for suggestions! L key did not work for me, probably it has some geometry problem, still only selects part of object imgur.com/F88H7qC $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ Yes. I assume that objects been imported from other software? Looks as if you have overlapping vertices. try selecting all and pressing 'M' > Merge by Distance and see what is reported in the centre of the bottom toolbar. $\endgroup$
