Afternoon,

I'm trying to build a mesh around an object, i'm at the step where i need to delete the blocks inside the object i'm trying to mesh around (a selection of the ones outlined in light blue)



But when i click to delete the blocks it fills them all in large and i can't see the ones i'm trying to get at (i merged a lot of the surrounding blocks so that i'd have less blocks to worry about)



What i'm wondering is, is there any way to hide the large blocks that are in the way without deleting them? or is there some way i can get a cut plane for blocks like you can do with the mesh?

Thank you,
Mickey

I know it can be very annoying. Specially when you are trying to create a mesh with a lot of blocks and edges. In the beginning it can be a pain in the ass
