The Isolate Select command in the View panel displayed above the scene view 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.
