How do you hide an object in edit mode in Blender?

In Blender's Edit Mode, you can hide selected parts of an object, like vertices, edges, or faces, using a few different methods:

• Using the 'H' key: Select the vertices, edges, or faces you want to hide and press the H key. This hides the selection within the object's edit mode.

• Using the Menu:

  1. Select the vertices, edges, or faces you want to hide.
  2. Go to the Mesh menu at the top of the Blender window.
  3. Choose Hide.
  4. Select Hide Selected.

To reveal hidden parts of your object in Edit Mode:

• Using Alt+H: Press Alt + H to unhide all hidden vertices, edges, or faces.

• Using the Menu:

  1. Go to the Mesh menu at the top of the Blender window.
  2. Choose Hide.
  3. Select Unhide Hidden.

Important Considerations:

• These methods only hide portions of the current object in Edit Mode. They are different from hiding entire objects in Object Mode (which affects visibility in the viewport and render).
• Hidden geometry still exists within the object's data. It's just not visible until you unhide it.
