Question Can you make it so also tool doesn't select vertices you can't see?

Hello friends! So Iately I've had to select many vertecies and stuff like that for Maya and modeling to do twerking, and I know that the lasso select tool would be a huge help but also I HATE that it also grabs the other side of whatever I'm looking at, I've searched though the tool settings and idk if I'm blind or stupid but I'd like to only select the vertices that are seen on my camera, and not select the things on the other side of my model

Yeah you can deactivate camera based selection on tool options

Tool settings or modeling toolkit has what you need

It should be under common selection options, toggle camera based selection.

Set auto camera selection in Maya settings.
This way, when you are in shaded mode, Maya won’t select back-facing polys, edges and vertices.
Switch to wire mode (press 1 on your keyboard) to select back-facing components.

This way you won’t have to keep toggling camera-based selection every time.
