Component Selection and De-selection

neilmckenzie — Tue, 31 Jan 2017 19:34:22 GMT

Please can someone tell me how to select say an individual component or body and hide all the others? This is useful when you want to work on a single component without all the others cluttering the view! I am an Autodesk Powershape user and with that software the Ctrl K shortcut does this, but not sure with Fusion360. Thanks

Use the browser on the left hand side, turn the light bulbs on or off to hide/show objects or sketches. You can select individual bodies in the browser but you have to expand the tree to select the body, with components you do not have to expand the tree.

For a component it's easy. In the browser just right click on the component you want to deal with and choose "Isolate" in context menu.

In teh browser Right-click on the component you want to see and select "Isolate".

Or, when in the 3D viewport you can doubleclick to select the component and then right-click and select "Isolate"

When done editing the component, find it in the browser, right-click and select "unisolate".
