Is there a way to isolate selected surfaces?

  • 1.  Is there a way to isolate selected surfaces?

    I found a very quick way to turn off visibility on a surface using the right click and toggle visibility but I am wondering if there is a way to isolate surfaces that have been selected, similar to the view only layers of selected and isolate functions with layers. I think this has value for some of the larger projects as we start to get more smart data. Especially when the data is new and a user in not familiarized with the naming nomenclature of the data.

    In the Surfaces Section of the VFM you can right click a surface and say View Only This - that is like an Isolate function - you can also select several surfaces and do the same thing to show only 3 surfaces for example - however that approach depends upon you knowing which surfaces you want to work with - and that is not specifically what you were asking here.

     

    You can also in Graphics do as you suggest and select surfaces and Toggle their visibility to turn those that you want to work with OFF and then go to VFM Surfaces Section and Right Click and Invert to switch the visible surfaces from Off to ON and vice versa to get what you want.
