Unselect hidden mesh after unhide Is it possible to unselect only the parts that were hidden, after the unhide command (AltH)? I want to keep the previous selection.
There may be a more elegant solution, but i believe this process gives you the result you are seeking.  

Select the mesh vertices you are interested in.
Invert your selection (Ctrl + I).
Unhide the hidden mesh components (Alt + H).
Invert your selection with Ctrl I again.
