Description
it's not always convenient or helpful to hide a mesh, or part of a mesh. sometimes one needs to see sub-objects of a mesh in order to work around them. it would be great if one could "freeze" selected/unselected verts in edit mode so that they are not translatable or selectable while working on surrounding subobjects.
Great idea.
Now it's possible to get this effect if you hide geometry with Subsurf enabled - in wireframe, the hidden parts show in gray.
Actually, I think this should be a switch in the panel ("draw hidden"). It could have three steps - drawed normally, but not selectable, drawed in light gray wireframe and not shown at all.
