Invert isolate?

[leach]

is it possible to do an invert isloate on faces, i have a single polygonal mesh, and, for example, i want to select the legs and have these hiden, instead of hidding everything but the legs.

and please dont tell me..."oh this is easy to script" unless you going to give me the friggin script, or i will shoot you

thanks

Oh it's easy to script.. just kidding..

Select the faces you want to work with and then in the Show menu of your viewport choose view selected

hi, my question was actually can you do the reverse of that, so it isolates the ones which arent selected?

thanks

You would invert the selection first by holding the shift key and dragging a marque around all the faces.

Inverse selecting is harder than it looks- but a good way to keep faces or verts is with QSS quick selection sets.
