Selecting back tile

Is there any chance to select a tile marked red on ground level behind another one with elevation and put there a tile without removing all front tiles?

No sorry. OpenSpace Editor "reads" the mouse pointer position and returns the first selectable tile. No way to go behind it (also, you could have more than one tile behind: which one to choose in that case?)

Well dont know in that case, just thought maybe some Alt-Ctrl combination by any luck. Ok then...
PS Maybe any chance to get a simple numerical field to put needed tile coordinates with Z-value manually?

an idea

Had this problem too, maybe it would be cool like this: while targeting the tile that is obscuring "your" tile, click right button for the context menu(or the options panel at the bottom), hit eye icon, makes the tile invisible(for mouse clicks too), or it could be just at 25% opacity etc - then the same for tile behind it and so on, until you get to your tile. You could do this to a group of tiles too for faster work(select group, then hit eye, select another group, eye etc). Then you would hit some "reset" button after you are done and all those front tiles would become visible again.
Another option is to add those "invisible" tiles to some kind of list where you could choose only some of them to make them visible again if needed(they would disappear from the list after you did that).
Would be something like managing layers, only those layers would be temporary.

For smaller maps it doesnt matter so much to redo stuff 4x, but its frustrating anyway :-)
