Do you mean to add command named "Isolate" to toolbar or add button which is separated from other toolbar items?

For how to add a command to toolbar, you can refer to add-in sample "AddInSample" which add a simple command to toolbar (how to find it: click menu item "File" -> click button "Scripts and Add-Ins..." -> click tab "Add-Ins", you will find it under the folder "Sample Add-Ins").

It is possible to use the API to add the Isolate command to a toolbar but I'm not sure that would make sense because the command is context sensitive. For it to work correctly you will first have to select the components you want to isolate and then run the command. Having the commands available in the context menu for a component would seem to be more logical. Then it also displays the appropriate command (Isolate or UnIsolate) based on the current state of the model.
