Isolate function

[Anonymous]

I would like to be able to have an "isolate" function to be able to use it against volumes, surfaces, points, etc.

The workarounds to detect small surfaces or volumes is very laborious.

This should be joined by a "zoom to selection".

These will make user interface more useful and increase user's speed.

I will provide you with a work-around that is useful for me:

Create a group called "Isolate" (or whatever you may like) and add to it a part or a group of parts. Then select all parts and turn visibility off (hide). Now you can select you group and and make it visible.

You can use this technique to create "view configurations" that display only certain part groups of your analysis. It's handy when dealing with large part count assemblies.

It is also useful as you assign boundary conditions.
