I need solution for my problem with inspection between two bodies, one is inside the other.

All my CAM projects are Model + Stock (3d model - I do not use software given stock models) and I can not make any measuring between faces or edges, no matter what type of visually style i am using.

For example, grey body is my model, transparent is my stock, and i can not measure distance between top faces or between closest edges from top side! 

Also, i like to use hybrid design in my projects, it means several bodies inside, and this problem is not just in manufacturing mode.

 

I know that I can (un)check something and somewhere, but i do not know where!

 

Thanks in advance.

Thanks.

 

That is solution, no doubt, but I would like to have faster and easier way for inspection between faces/edges/points on different bodies. 

I made print screen of "normal" part where choice is very easy - but what to do with model with hundreds and hundreds surfaces, edges or points?! 

I can not pick "Accept Solution", i tried same on complex curvedand multisurfaced part and I had to take a headache pill. But, good to know about this option.

 

Autodesk Team ... if You can try to improve selections I mentioned, thanks in advance. I can live with the existing solution, but ...

In my case, I would like that we have possibility to select faces, edges or points between stock body and model body.
