While using the temporary hide/isolate tool, it would be nice if the modeled-in-place objects which have been isolated don't vanish once "edit" is hit.
I understand that an object is in limbo, without a definite category when it's in edit mode, (I mean, this is where you set the category) thus not meeting the requirements to display... but surely someone can think of a way for this to be an exception for previously isolated families.
It defeats the purpose of isolating all roofs, and/or generic models if they can't be worked on while isolated.
selecting every object I want to isolate and choosing 'Isolate Selected Elements' is cumbersome, but the effect I want for my ease of work. IE, not hiding new elements that are (technically) created out-of-category. 'Isolate Selected Elements' does not suppress newly revealed elements, whether by modifying a section box post-hide (this is a cool effect,) or by modifying a family. IMO, since this is a temporary visual tool anyway, I think 'Isolate By Category' should ALSO be applied once, and revert to allow changes to what's displayed, like isolate by element.
Anyone else had this little grievance?

I understand what you are saying about the Temporary / Hide Isolate becoming invalid once an element is "edited".
But to what you said about "selecting every object I want to isolate and choosing 'Isolate Selected Elements' is cumbersome"; is it easier to select one of the elements you wish to Hide or Isolate and use the Select All Instances tool. Then continue selecting various elements by using the Ctrl Key.
I hope this helps.
