Isolate Select (Show > Isolate Select > View Selected) lets you show only certain objects or components in your scene. Each panel maintains its own Isolate Select settings.
Unlike the Display > Hide commands, Isolate Select lets you isolate components (polygon vertices, faces and edges, NURBS CVs, or subdivision surface faces) and objects, and only affects the display, not rendering.
