//  Inspired by Jorge Pimentel's Isolate Select ShelfButton 1.1:
//  http://www.highend3d.com/users/56797.html
//
//  Also inspired by Eric Pavey

//
//
//  Usage:
//  Select what you'd like to isolate and focus a viewport
//  (for example middle mouse-click anywhere in a viewport).
//  Run the script by executing the senToggleIsolateSelect
//  command.
//
//
//  Installation:
//  Copy this source code within a MEL file to one of your
//  scripts folders, for example on Windows XP 32-bit to the
//  folder \My Documents\maya\<version>\scripts. Start Maya
//  or (if it is running) use the rehash command to make Maya
//  aware of the newly copied script. Execute the script with
//  the senToggleIsolateSelect command.
//
//
//  Purpose:
//  Isolate mode helps you concetrate on one part of a scene.
//  It's an alternative to hiding and unhiding objects.
//  By default you toggle Isolate mode separately for each
//  viewport in the viewports' Show menu. This script eases
//  isolating and unisolating. Firstly, it cuts down on the
//  need to use a menu. Secondly, it toggles Isolate mode
//  for all viewports at once, not just for one. Lastly, the
//  script allows newly created objects to be visible even
//  when Isolate mode is active.
