Isolate an object in the Canvas
The Isolate command (and Isolate button) temporarily aligns the current view with the selected
object and hides all other objects in the scene, facilitating access to distant or obscured objects.
The Isolate command is not intended for creating a camera view to be rendered or exported, but
rather to temporarily restrict your view to a single object so you can modify or manipulate that
object more effectively.
