Adding parts of retopology to a new layer

[t_smith5]

I'm currently in the process of retopologizing my model, but I was wondering if it's possible to add each part I work on onto a new layer? For instance, in order to just see and focus on individual parts - torso, arms, legs etc. - I want to be able to add each part to its own layer. However, I can't seem to be able to do it. I can't select any of the quads I'm adding to their own layer. Is this possible?

Thanks

Hi!

For component selections i recommend to create Sets and then use in Viewport Show -> Isolate Select.

This way you can extremely fast toggle between different parts.
