Revit Filters inverted (or isolate selected)

What bugs me a lot is that every new project I have to create 2 sets of filters to isolate or hide an object by filters.
When working on a project, you sometimes want a 3D-view with an element (let's say 1 specific building) to hidden. So you create a filter 'name contains XYZ' and turn the visibility off.
In another view you want that building to be isolated, so you have to create a new filter 'name does not contain XYZ' and make all these other objects invisible.
In this case it's an easy example, but sometimes it's more complex to create a list of rules to get exactly the object(s) that you want. In that case just inverting those rules doesn't even work, so you have to be creative to reproduce them in the opposite direction.
Why isn't it still not possbile to create a filter for 1 object, and instead of only be able to check the box: Visibilily, why not add another option to check a box: Isolate.
In that case you don't have to make double filters for everything. Saves time creating, saves half the filters, makes it more easy to work, no double adjustements, etc.
Since Revit isn't implementing this, is there a workaround or other option?
