title: Hide mesh faces while showing vertices/edges in edit mode (Blender 2.8)
body: <p>[Update] I've found the answer. For anyone else looking for a similar effect go to the modeling tab -&gt; viewport overlays -&gt; mesh edit mode -&gt; deselect faces</p>
  <p>I am in edit mode in the 3D view and my scene looks like the first picture below. I want to hide the faces so I can edit while only seeing the vertices &amp; edges like the wireframe below, but I need to keep the faces as part of the mesh.</p>
  <p>If I select the faces and press H to hide them the vertices and edges are hidden too. If I make the mesh a wireframe the faces are removed, not just made invisible.</p>
  <p>How can I hide the faces while still showing the vertices and edges?</p>
