How do I hide/unhide selection in Blender?

You can hide and unhide selected objects or components (like faces, edges, vertices) in Blender using simple keyboard shortcuts.

Hiding and Unhiding

Here's how you can hide and unhide selections:

• Hiding:
  • Select the object(s) or component(s) you want to hide.
  • Press the H key. This will hide the selected items from view.
• Unhiding:
  • Press Alt + H keys. This will unhide all hidden objects and components in the scene.

Practical Example in Edit Mode

Let's say you're in Edit Mode and want to work on specific parts of a mesh, it is helpful to hide sections you're not currently working on:

1. Select the faces, edges, or vertices you wish to hide.
2. Press the H key to hide the selected portions.
3. Work on the visible areas of your mesh.
4. Press Alt + H to unhide the previously hidden sections.
