	You cannot directly hide selected faces in vertex mask selection mode.	You cannot specifically hide only selected faces in vertex mask selection mode.
	However, you can use a trick:	However, the selection is converted when switching selection modes.
		So a common trick is to:

	#. First go to Face selection mask mode.	#. Switch to Face selection mask mode to have the selection converted to faces.
	#. Select the areas you want to hide and then hide the faces (as explained above).	#. Refine your selection next or just hide the faces.
	#. Switch back to Vertex Selection mask mode.	#. Switch back to Vertex Selection mask mode.

	Now the vertices belonging to the hidden Faces will remain hidden.	Hidig faces will make sure that vertices that belong to visible faces remain visible.
