Using Multiple Views with the Isolate Command
You can isolate as many objects as you have views. It is possible to edit an object in an
isolated view while looking at the results through a scene camera in another view. Once
an object is isolated in a view, you can activate another viewport and isolate a different
object.
Drag and Drop onto the Canvas
Dragging and dropping an object onto the Canvas adds the object to the scene at the
focal plane of the current camera. Dragging an object into the Layers tab or clicking the
Apply button in the Preview Area of the File Browser positions the object at 0,0,0.
