Unhiding polygons

[Tommy L]

I hid some polygons in a sub-object. Now I want to unhide them., However, I actually hid all the polygons in the selected object. So I cant find the object to select is and unhide whilst in sub-object mode

Is there a global unhide tool that doesnt require selecting the object?

What do you mean you cant find the object? Do you know the object name?

Use the select by name list, or locate it in your layers to select it and unhide the poly's.

Ive seen ppl do this. If finding object is difficult due to large number of objects etc. Select all meshes add and edit mesh modifier and unhide all polygons. This should reveal the object - if only to get its name

That should do it, thanks. Im really sloppy with naming conventions. An object is very lucky if I give it a discernible name....
