      What I mean by solo is select the tag and only see the items that have that tag associated. I've exhausted every option that I could think of to try and make this possible. Perhaps there is an extension or plug-in that allows this feature? Or is this possible by making a tag folder and utilizing that feature?

        Turn the other Tags off.

        If you have raw geometry that is untagged (as it should be) it is one of the few occasions where changing the active tag is useful.

          Thanks @Box. Your above description does make perfect sense. I come from an audio world. Where we have channels/tracks which can be soloed or muted. i.e one button does all of what you describe above. Seems odd that such a simple feature does not exist or someone hasn't written a plug-in/script for such an application. EDIT: I do realize that SU abandoned the use of layers many versions back. I'm pretty sure other programs which facilitate the use of layers (tags in SU) have this feature. One button to only view a particular layer (tag).

            It is only a name change.

              I know it's only a name change.

              It looks as though this plug-in does isolate tags. https://sketchucation.com/plugin/2030-s4u_layer Though 2025 is not supported. Perhaps my verbiage has made it unclear. A better way of expressing it might be "isolate".
