If you're having trouble getting the "limit selection to visible" option to work in Blender, there are a few things you can try.

First, make sure that you're in Object mode. This option only works in Object mode, so if you're in Edit mode it won't do anything.

Next, try selecting your object from a different view. If you're in the front view, try selecting it from the side view, or vice versa.

Finally, if none of those things work, the most likely explanation is that your object is too small. The "limit selection to visible" option only works on objects that are at least partially visible in the current view. So, if your object is completely hidden by other objects in the scene, it won't be selected.

If you're still having trouble, feel free to ask for help in the Blender forums.
