Is There Any Way To "lock" An Object

[numbnuts]

Hi there

I know how to do this in other programs and i'm wondering if this is possible in Maya.

I'm editing a curve, that is in the middle of a polygon object see photo below

But every time i try to select the vertices on the curve it selects the polygon object and i have to unselect that.

Is there any way of just locking the polygon temporarily so i can't select it?

Thanks in advance

It's called "templating" in Maya. Right click on the object and under "Actions" you'll see that you can template the object. Ditto a layer can be templated.
