Yes. Click the eye icon in the 3D Viewport Header when not in isolation. When the icon appears crossed out (🚫), QuickIsolate is paused and all mouse gestures pass through to vanilla Blender. Click it again to re-enable.

You are never trapped. Whenever the scene is isolated, the eye toggle icon in the 3D Viewport Header illuminates in bright blue. Simply click that eye icon once to immediately escape isolation and restore your full scene visibility.

Yes. Simply select your objects and Ctrl + double-click on any of them. All selected objects enter Blender's native Local View together while keeping your Outliner collections 100% intact.

Blender natively treats the first mouse-down of a double-click as a single selection event, dropping multi-selections. QuickIsolate includes an integrated micro-selection cache (< 450ms) that rescues your multi-selection instantly, allowing you to multi-isolate seamlessly without needing to hold Shift.

QuickIsolate uses non-destructive state snapshots. When you exit isolation, it does not blindly turn on every collection in your scene. Any collections you intentionally had hidden (such as reference image planes, backdrops, lighting rigs, or trash collections) remain hidden upon return.

You have two instant options: Ctrl + Double-Click anywhere in empty 3D space (Master Reset). Click the glowing blue QuickIsolate Eye icon in the 3D Viewport Header.

QuickIsolate allows continuous nested isolation. You can double-click to isolate 4 collections, double-click deeper to isolate 2 collections, double-click a part for 1 collection, and Ctrl + double-click for Local View. When you double-click empty space, it steps backwards one level at a time (Local View → 1 folder → 2 folders → 4 folders → Full Scene), so you never lose your intermediate working groups.

QuickIsolate handles arbitrary multi-collection isolation automatically. Simply select objects across any number of folders (e.g., Engine + Wheels + Suspension) and double-click any of them: QuickIsolate keeps all corresponding collections visible and mutes the rest of the scene graph.

Not at all. QuickIsolate strictly gates its double-click operator to Object Mode. In Edit Mode (such as double-clicking to select edge loops), Sculpt Mode, Vertex Paint, Weight Paint, and Texture Paint, all native mouse gestures and tool behaviors remain 100% untouched.

No. QuickIsolate adheres to a strict zero N-Panel bloat policy. It integrates cleanly and discretely into your 3D Viewport Header with a native-style eye toggle icon, keeping your sidebar completely uncluttered.
