[Qgis-user] Selecting individual polygons from multiple duplicates

[Andreas Neumann]

 Hi Steven,

 There are two ways to access these elements:

 * through the attribute table
 * by changing the behavior of the Identify tool: Options --> Map Tools 
 --> Identify section --> "Top Down". This should return a listing of all 
 elements that were hit, no matter if an element is covered by others.
