Many operations, such as voiding or smoothing, only work on visible faces. There are a hand-full of hiding operations, all accessed via the <h> key.

Figure 135 shows you what you get once you have hit the <h> key.

Hiding With the Box

If you draw out a box with the left mouse button, then all faces inside this box will be hidden (see left side Figure 136).

Figure 136. Hiding With the Box

If, however, you draw out a box with the right mouse button, then all faces outside the box are hidden (see right side Figure 136).

Hiding Marked Faces - <g> key

You can hide all the marked faces by typing <g> (see Figure 137).

Hiding Using Filling - <f> key

Typing <h> <f> is a shortcut version of the surface hiding sequence <g> <f> <h> <g>. Because it uses the marking mechanism to select the faces, any other faces that happen to be marked, other than the ones you select, will also be hidden.

Swapping Hidden Faces - <s> key

Type <s> to swap the visible and hidden faces.

Showing Hidden Faces - <u> key

Type <u> to unhide all hidden faces.

Zoom In On Visible Faces - <Home> key

You can zoom in on the remaining visible faces by hitting the <Home> key. This can be very handy.
