A surface selecting method in an information processing apparatus for selecting a prescribed surface of a 3D model displayed on a display unit of the information processing apparatus includes a display control step of controlling the display unit so as to display the 3D model, and a detection step of detecting an indication to an edge line formed by two adjoining surfaces of the 3D model displayed on the display unit. In addition, a determination step determines whether the indication is an indication to an edge line formed between a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first surface is not being displayed and the second surface is being displayed on the display unit, and a selection step selects the first surface, which is not being displayed on the display unit, if the indication is an indication to the edge line formed between the first and second surfaces.
