View Selected

Activates or deactivates the isolate select feature. When activated, the word “Isolate” appears at the bottom of the panel and the current selection becomes isolated.

Auto Load New Objects, Auto Load Selected Objects

Turn on to automatically update the isolate select panel when you add new objects or change your selection. If turned off, you must use the Load, Add, or Remove Selected Objects options to update the panel.

Load Selected Objects, Add Selected Objects, Remove Selected Objects

If you don’t have auto load on, you can use these options to control the isolate select display. Select items from the isolate panel or another panel and then load, add, or remove them as needed. Note that Load Selected Objects replaces the display with the current selection, while Add Selected Objects adds the current selection to the selections already displaying.

Bookmarks

Enables you to bookmark an isolated selection. To create a bookmark, select Show > Isolate Select > Bookmarks > Bookmark Current Objects. Select the option box if you want to name the bookmark; otherwise, a default name is used.

To view bookmarked items, select Show > Isolate Select > Bookmarks > BookmarkName. Select it again to turn it off and return to the previous view. You can view multiple bookmarks at the same time.

Bookmarks are saved with the scene as a set.

Note

Isolate Select does not work for subdivision surface vertices, edges, or polygons. Isolate subdivision surface faces instead.
