isolate layer

Post by macitect »

It would be great if there was a button to isolate a layer. For instance; if I want to work on landscape elements but while trying to make a large selection I keep picking up additional elements from different layers. I would like to choose an element on landscape layer and have a toggle button that isolates that layer then when finished I hit the button again and it turns on all the layers I had on previously (not all layers indiscriminately!!!).

That is something we could add very soon as we have already introduced improvements to the selection methods, especially regarding overlapping elements. A command like that could apply a temporary lock to all the other layers so as to leave only the current layer editable, and then restore the previous state. Great request, thanks!
