Limiting Brush Interactions Visibility, Masking & Face Sets
--------------------------- =========
While sculpting, areas might be hidden behind parts of the mesh or they might be too close to other parts. ...
To work through these, it is useful to isolate parts of a mesh to sculpt on.
This can be done by either completely hiding parts of the mesh
or by masking areas that can not be sculpted on. Filters
