show/hide surface

I want to make sure my PC board  is sitting on top of its standoffs and also shrink the depth of the case if I can.  How do I hide these front faces so I can see the pins, board, clearance and standoffs inside?

Hi,

1. turn off the lightbulb of the object

2. Set opacity (rightclick the object in browser > opacity > set value

Perfect.  How might I move this board down so it's sitting directly on the standoffs without zooming in and freehanding it?

Hi,

assemble > join > select 1. component and position to move > select 2. component and position to align.

Another way to "see inside" a model is to use the "INSPECT/SECTION ANALYSIS" tool.
