Is there a way to create a filter that visually isolates all the objects that have specific value ('X') for a parameter?

That is, the only options i see so far are either 1) turn off an object 2) don't turn it off.

Seems like this should be an option to show only those objects with a specific value, perhaps i'm missing something obvious.

Thanks, Ryan

Instead of isolating everything with value X, you create the filter so that it turns off everything that doesn't have value X. Isolating a thing is the same is turning off everything that isn't that thing. Hope this helps.

There is no 'isolate' option that will dynamically keep the isolation up to date. Visibility and graphic representation are the things you can alter with the filtered selection set.
Depending on the situation if you create your filter to find all items that do not have that value and then turn them off in the view you would be able to isolate the objects that do have the correct value and then create a selection set from them.
This may be complicated a bit if the objects you are looking for are in a variety of different object categories and the parameter is not available in all those categories.
