Figure 2. Hiding With the Box

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.
