Sometimes I would like to hide certain parts of geometry to sculpt in places that are hard to reach.
Voxel mode does have this tool so.. *hint* *hint*

I noticed there's no hide tool in voxel surface, or am I overlooking a way to hide geometry?

Hi johnnycore,
You probably already knew this, but you can hide stuff in voxel mode first and then switch to surface mode (and it stays hidden). Of course having to switch from surface mode to voxel mode just to hide stuff is a little annoying, but it works.
Additionally I think there is no hide tool in surface mode because it would only hide the surface and not the voxels underneath the surface, so I guess it makes sense that you have to do it in voxel mode (...although Andrew could probably figure out a way around this I suppose...)
Happy sculpting!

Thanks fo your respond.
Well.. I knew about hiding voxels in voxel mode, but when I switch the voxel mode 3DCoat requires me to resample my mesh.
At the moment I've used LiveClay and some areas are quite dense and some are not, I would like to keep it that way so voxel mode is not an option for me..

I could really use this right now, and I'm surprised there is no hide tool for surface/Liveclay.

Was there development on this? I REALLY need to hide Live surface areas.
