Blender: Faces disappear in edit mode

M u r t t i

Hi,

I used Retopoflow tool to retopo my high poly mesh. I finished the retopo step and the mesh looks fine but when I enter to edit mode some of the faces seems to disappear. I've searched help to fix this issue but haven't figured it out yet. Just learning Blender right now so I'm not sure if this some basic problem or not. 

Someone said this could be flipped normals problem but I can't flip the normals cause there is no face to select in edit mode. Pics in object and edit mode.

I know the topology is far from perfect but just learning by doing

Object mode:


Edit mode:


Thanks for your help!

Might be hidden subobjects - they reappear in object mode. Try Mesh - Show/Hide - Show Hidden in face mode (from the menu).

You may hide the faces in edit mode. For this case, in edit mode, press "A" once or twice to make sure you select everything. press "Alt + H" to unhide the faces.

Thanks a lot @thomasp and @zackii90 !  It worked and now I feel like an idiot, haha! I dunno why that didn't come to my mind...
