Scene Organization

Local Isolate
Isolate the selected object and set an active work grid in its local coordinates.
Note: If multiple objects are selected, Local Isolate uses the first object in the selection to set the grid.

Incremental Isolation
Re-isolate within the current selection.
The tool opens a floater dialog with three buttons: “LEVEL UP”, “LEVEL DOWN”, and “CLOSE”. Select nodes and press LEVEL UP to isolate them. Press LEVEL DOWN to restore the previously isolated nodes or exit isolation mode if no previous level is registered. Closing the tool exits isolation mode.

Unhide by Selection
Temporarily displays all hidden objects (and hides visible ones). Select the objects to unhide and press “Done” on the floater.

Unfreeze by Selection
Temporarily displays all frozen objects (and freezes visible ones). Select the objects to unfreeze and press “Done” on the floater.
Layer Tools
Layer tools operate on the selected node (if any); otherwise, they work in “pick mode.”
