Bedside table

.. And then when a client requested a folding step ladder to be made of oak with some other requirements (collapse to less than 3 1/2" in depth, 3 steps with the top one ~30 inches high, etc.) I went into panic mode...

I'd love to see that model. Have you posted it anywhere?

You can always click "hide rest of model" when in edit mode. Click "view," then "component edit" to find this option. I go back and forth a lot on hide or unhide, so here's another way: In "view" click "toolbars" then "options". This will display a series of icons, one of which will allow you to toggle between hiding and unhiding the rest of the model in edit mode.

There is one script that I use very often when working on a component or group is "fr_hideall.rb"

It hides all what is not selected. To use it, I select the group or component or geometrie that I want to edit and then right click "Hide all unselected"

When I am finish editing that component I have a shorcut key to unhide all
