How do I Show/Hide Muliple Body Parts in DS4.5 other than clicking each one at a time?

if I need to export a single portion of a figure I have to click off visibility icon in the content pane for each figure part and go down the list one by one until I'm left with the part I want to show.
Is there a way to make a figure invisible, turn off all the visibility of all the limbs at one time, then select the parts I need shown?

    I thought, you can use Reverse selection,, and go to parameter tab,
    display, set invsible.

    but in scene tab,, select and visiblity (in parameter tab, or click eye icon )
    seems have problem in current beta version too.

    when I use inverse selection,, and in parameter,, set vislble etc,,
    toggle them sometimes about each part,,
    DS 3d view can not see them visible.

    there was same bug about (edited )poligon group editor. (I reported before and confirmed,,)
    I may need send bug report. though I did not check it in current product ver ,,

    ======================

    then,, if you do not toggle and test them,, just hope to show some parts only,

    1. select all node, by select children.
    2 go to parameter tab, display> invisible
    3 select the node which you want to visible. then use parameter tab, or eye icon open in scene tab
    4 then I need to select root node , visible.

    copy and pasete as new txt file, then save it as AABB.dsa,
    and keep it in directory anywhere you want.

    or open Script IDE tab from top menu, then direct copy and paste there,
    save it as new.dsa.

    select node,, and click the dsa as same as other script.
    it can set invisilbe, under the selection ( = seelct children and set invibile,,)

    but about both case,, if I select root genesis,
    then set invisible all children,, after that, want to show some node,
    I need to select root and set visible again.

    root node visiblity seems have priority, than child node visiblity.

    then I feel strange,, why ds scene tab option has no menu about selection visiblitily?
    it must be useful.

    Having the root visibility trump the nodes is useful if you want to hide a figure without upsetting and selective hiding you had previously done.
