Hide Only Vertex is an add-on that allows you to hide and lock selected vertices without hiding their connected faces. This protects specific areas of a mesh from accidental edits while maintaining the visual context of the entire model.
Hidden vertices are excluded from box selections and remain unaffected by proportional editing. The tool also supports hiding control points on curves. It integrates directly into the standard Show/Hide menus for both meshes and curves, and includes default keyboard shortcuts for hiding selected or unselected vertices.
