So get your crosshair over the restrooms, roll up on the wheel a few notches like so, so that you can clearly see the outline of the restrooms there. Now the restrooms have got their little sinks like so, the little basins, the little cubicles and so on. But there's quite a lot of geometry around that and I might just only want to work in that particular space without all of these water closets and panels and cubicles etc. Now what I can do is I can click here once and release the mouse button, drag a window selection around all of those cubicles like that and then left click again. So they're all selected now. What I can do is I can then right click, go to isolate, and I can hide those objects so I can easily work on the walls, perhaps the doors and so on. Now I haven't got rid of them completely. I can right click, go to isolate again, and end that…
