Is it somehow possible NOT to apply Facegroups by normal - but keep the FGs you want ? E.g. I want to seperate the teeth - so I use normal filter But I dont want the other 496 FGs - so I don’t want to press NORMAL In the Preview I see the FGs on the teeth I want - but it is not possible to TAP on the teeth to hide them… I hope you get what I mean :😁: So it would be nice to be able to select FGs in the preview mode without applying ALL FGs..

At the moment you have to:

Press NORMAL

Use HIDE Tool or Mask Tool - split FGs

RESET FGs to clear the FGs etc.

So it would be nice to be able to TAP in PREVIEW Mode on the FG to HIDE it… or a other solution
