John Pesaturo Feb 23, 2017 11:37 AM (in response to Siavash Khajehhasani)I find the "Select Other" option to be very straight forward and use it all the time in some reasonably complex assemblies. It's never let me down. The box that pops up also highlights your selection.
Typically when doing this I have the assembly toggled into "Hidden Lines Visible" mode.

Deepak Gupta Feb 23, 2017 11:43 AM (in response to P. K.)You can use Shift (keep it pressed while selection) to select the transparent face.
And if you're using SW2016, then you can take advantage of the component preview window and transparent component during mating.
