Isolate Selected in Editor

Isolationist is a small Unity Editor utility that allows you to toggle selected assets into an Isolate mode similar to Tools > Isolate Select in Maya where all other objects are hidden while you are editing the selected objects. This makes the objects you've isolated easiser to work with and keeps you from accidentally selecting/editing objects you aren't working on.

To Use

• Install from the Unity Asset Store
• Or download and install the Isolationist.unitypackage

To Enter Isolate Mode

• Select the object or objects you want to isolate
• Use the keyboard shortcut I
• Or use Tools Menu > Isolate Selected

To Exit Isolate Mode

• Select a hidden object in the heirarchy
• Or use the keyboard shortcut I
• Or use Tools Menu > Isolate Selected

To Modify the Keyboard Shortcut

• Open Edit > Preferences... > Isolationist
• Select the desired base key and modifiers

Tips and Tricks

Ctrl+Click or Shift+Click to Add

While in Isolate mode, use Ctrl+Left Click or Shift+Left Click in the hierarchy to add hidden objects to the isolation group.

Exit Isolate Mode Before Building

Isolate mode doesn't know when a build is about to start, so objects may get into the build in their 'hidden' state. They will be re-enabled as soon as the game starts (on Awake()), but this may not be fast enough for scripts that run even faster.
