bauz007 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I hope to see this new feature ASAP. A must have feature in any 2d or 3d design software. totally agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tupaia Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I'm late for the debate, anyway: +1000 for a decent Solo/Isolate functionality! ... both for layers (ALT-click, nice!) and separate objects. (Illustrator does it by double-clicking an object, as you surely know) Thanks!! Best regards Eugen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pier Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 When is isolation mode going to be implemented?Selecting stuff on the layer panes is a waste of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victrl Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 +100500.When I double click on an object the reaction of Affinity and Illustrator are same - go down by hierarchy. But difference in next: - Illustrator isolate objects (fix isolation on selected hierarchy level) - Affinity go up immediatelly when I try to do something else. Yes, I can select objects with Shift key. But if I try to select some objects with mouse the Affinity send back me from group to the top level.

Bri-Toon Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 If this is considered, I would also like to suggest the idea to isolate objects from a clipped shape. Pressing Ctrl + Click is useful, but not when I need to create a bounding box to select bunches in clipped areas. Quote The website is still a work in progress. The "Comics" and "Shop" sections are not yet ready. Feel free to connect with me and let me know what you like or what can be improved. You can contact me here, on my contact page, YouTube channel, or Twitter account. Thanks and have a great day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHumeniy Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 alt+click works fine, but I use one or many draft layers which I would like to still be able to see. It would be great if this feature made the rest of objects transparent and unselectable instead of completely hide them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandu Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Isolating an object is very useful when working on objects above the background. Illustrator's simple solution double click works wonders. Unfortunatelly alt+click in Affinity works more like an isolated preview since any other click outside of the object itself will cancel the effect.

retrograde Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 Hi @MattP Still waiting on a workable solution to this. Any plans on improving the isolation mode? I am working on a very complex piece currently and this would come in super handy. Option clicking on a layer should isolate it until you option click it again in the layer panel. Nothing fancy. Everything else goes away, then everything else comes back. The current setup doesn't make sense to me if by clicking anywhere in the document you bring back everything, how do you actually do any work if it pops out of isolation at the first click? is there something I'm missing or not doing? Thanks, Kevin Alfred and Aammppaa 2 Quote http://www.kevincreative.com https://www.behance.net/kevincreative https://dribbble.com/kevincreative https://www.instagram.com/kevincreative/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrograde Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 ...in the meantime, how about the ability to assign a shortcut for the "edit all layers" feature to quickly toggle it on and off? Currently it's kinda hidden at the bottom left corner of the layers panel. Until there's a working isolation feature or a "lock everything other than what's selected" ability that would suffice. Sorry team, I'm gonna keep harping on this until there's a workable solution that enables working on complex files a little easier. :-) Hokusai, Aammppaa and Alfred 3 Quote http://www.kevincreative.com https://www.behance.net/kevincreative https://dribbble.com/kevincreative https://www.instagram.com/kevincreative/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great suggestion, one that I too think would be very useful! retrograde 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
