Isolate a group or component

- [Instructor] Oftentimes, it can be difficult to work on a group of a component because of what is around it. If another group is nearby, and it seems to be in the way, it's helpful to isolate the group so that it temporarily is the only geometry that we can see. To do that, we'll go to View, Component Edit, Hide Rest of Model. So now when I use my select tool, spacebar, and I double-click into this window, it will be the only geometry that I see, that and whatever else is included in that group. Now I can focus solely on what is within the group. The only downside to this is that if you need to reference or infer to something that is outside of the group. To turn this setting off, simply go back to View, Component Edit, Hide Rest of Model.
