The isolation button has become one of my favourite features. With complex building models I am constantly using it. But I do have 2 requests.

1. Could the button be placed on the main design screen so you don’t have to constantly open the items/drawings draw to get at it.
2. Are there any plans to have and isolation mode that shades out the rest of the model rather than hide it completely.

Thanks

Yes. This is something that will happen as part of a bigger UI revamp project in the near future.

Yes. This is something that we are doing as part of an other project, but we can’t share any details yet.
