Sculpt¶
Show & Hide¶
Reference
- Mode
Sculpt Mode
- Menu
Portions of the mesh can be hidden in Sculpt Mode to improve the viewport performance and to access parts of the mesh that would otherwise be difficult to access, because they are occluded by other parts. The hidden faces cannot be sculpted on. Hiding is shared between Edit Mode and Sculpt Mode (i.e. hiding/unhiding in one mode affects the other mode too).
- Show All Alt-H
Reveal all hidden parts.
- Show Bounding Box Shift-H
To reveal a hidden part of a mesh inside the selection.
- Hide Bounding Box H
To hide a part of a mesh inside the selection. This works similar to the Box Select tool.
- Hide Masked
Hides all masked vertices.
Set Pivot¶

- Mask Border
Sets the pivot position to the center of the mask’s border.
