Isolate multiple components / bodies

Isolate multiple components / bodies

The "isolate" right-click option in the object browser is very useful to quickly identify any object in the view. However, when one wants to quickly show a subset of components (say 10 component out of a list of 50+) there is no convenient method to do so ecept manually clicking through the full list of components (and the again to reverse the selection.) I repeatedly find myself in this situation wasting minutes on stupidly clicking and thinking there has to be a better way to do this. (Maybe there is?)

 

It would be so much more convenient if there would be a short-cut method (maybe a short key?) which quickly would toggle the "light-bulp" state of all browser-selected entitities at once.

You can pretty much do this with selection sets: Select the components you need, right click, select "Create Selection Set". Your selection set will then appear under a new "Selection Sets" folder and can be renamed to whatever you like. To activate it you hover over the desired selection set and click the "Select" button. Once activated you can right click any of the selected components to do whatever you want with them.

 

To add or remove components you first click the "Select" button on the selection to make sure it's activated, Ctrl-click the components you want to add or remove, and then click the "Update" button. To add a single component you can just drag and drop it into the desired selection set.
