How do you hide mesh in edit mode in Blender?

Published in Blender Modeling 1 min read

To hide a selected portion of a mesh in Blender's Edit Mode, press the H key. This is useful for isolating parts of the mesh you are working on and preventing interference from other sections.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

  • Hiding Mesh: Select the vertices, edges, or faces you want to hide and press the H key. This will make the selected geometry invisible in the viewport.

  • Unhiding Mesh: To reveal hidden geometry, use Alt + H. This will unhide all hidden parts of the object.

  • Hiding Unselected: You can also hide the unselected parts of a mesh. To do this, select the geometry you want to keep visible and press Shift + H. This isolates the selected geometry by hiding everything else. To reveal everything again, use Alt + H.

By using these shortcuts, you can effectively manage the visibility of your mesh elements while working in Edit Mode, which helps to streamline your workflow and improve precision.
