# Displaying Selected Elements Only in Sceneplanning Views

All your elements that are visible at the selected frame appear in the Sceneplanning view windows. This is unlike the Drawing View window, which only displays the selected cell in a single element at the current frame.

If you want to work on a single element or set of elements, you would need to hide all the unrelated elements and then redisplay them later. That doesn’t sound like a big deal, but if you have many elements, it can be time consuming.

Toon Boom Studio allows you to hide all other elements except the ones you select using Solo mode. When this mode is active, it temporarily hides all unselected elements from the View windows, allowing you to work on only the elements you want.

To hide elements in your View windows with Solo mode:

1. Select the element(s) you want to show. You can either select a single element or a range of elements (using [Shift]+ click).

2. Click the Solo mode button located at the top-left of the Timeline window.

When Solo mode is active, the Solo mode button appears inverted and the hidden elements appear grayed-out in the Timeline window.

| When you are in Solo mode, you can still display or hide elements from the View windows: If you want to temporarily display an element that is not one of the selected elements, select it in the Timeline window. You can use the Show/Hide buttons to hide or display elements currently in the Solo mode.
