Is your feature request related to a problem?

Sometimes I have a buildplate full of parts and small assemblies of the same color. One of them might not print correctly which is fine, but it means I'll reprint it (or them if multiple). I'd love it if there was a way to select the parts or assemblies I want to reprint and isolate them easily.

So what that means for me is when I want to "Isolate" something, I will usually: -RightClick the buildplate -LeftClick "Select All" -Hold "Ctrl key" -LeftClick the parts/assemblies to be "Isolated" -Release "Ctrl key" -RightClick anyone of the parts that are still selected -LeftClick "Printable" in the mouse menu

That will do the trick, but it's not really intuitive.

If there was a RightClick option, here's how that would look like: -Hold "Ctrl key" -LeftClick all parts to be "Isolated" -RightClick anyone of the selected parts -LeftClick "Isolate" button in the mouse menu

The "Isolate" button would force every selected parts to Printable and every unselected parts to NotPrintable, leaving only the isolated selection to be lit up and ready to print.
