Middle-clicking the mouse puts you in x-ray mode; a number that indicates depth will then appear near a cross-hair. Simply move the mouse around until the correct shape is highlighted. Sometimes selecting Options in the model editor window and then deselecting either skins or bodies can help, because one the remaining shapes will be selected.
