The Isolate tool allows you to isolate a character or asset by simply selecting a control. This tool searches for the highest node in the hierarchy and performs the isolate on this node.

You can isolate several characters at once by selecting multiple controls from different characters or assets.

If your characters or assets are within a node, for example, all characters are inside a group called "characters," use the "Down one level" option in the dropdown menu.

Isolate Bookmarks

The 'Isolate Bookmarks' tool allows you to save groups of isolates so that you can quickly change what you see in a viewport. This tool is ideal when you have multiple characters interacting with multiple elements.

To create a bookmark:

  • Open the 'Isolate Bookmarks' window by right-clicking on the "Isolate" tool button.

  • Select the group of characters or assets you want to add to the bookmark in the Outliner.

  • Click "Create" in the "Isolate Bookmarks" window.

All bookmarks appear in the dropdown menu of the "Isolate" button.

Select only one control to isolate the entire character.
