# Description

Use hide when you want to turn off the visibility of objects in your scene.

Using no arguments hides all modules. Use `hide -u` to hide everything that is not selected, and `hide -primary` to hide only the primary selection.

Hidden objects will be completely invisible in the 3D Scene, Front, Right, and Top views; connectivity with other markers will be invisible as well. In the Hierarchy view, modules will be dimmed.
