simple solution w/o creating configurations?

Hi all,

I am sure (hope?) there is a quick and easy answer for this I am in and out of sub-assembies with many planes.  I would like to hide some, not others, then may need to show a couple and hide two more.  I really wish SW had the capabilities of layers in ass'y and parts (not sure why it doesn't). I searched but the solution from everyone (for no layers) seems to be creating configurations - this is much too time consuming in this case.  I tried folders but that is not working.

there must be a simple way.  The thing is that I do not want to go back into the tree and have to remember every one I want on/off.

thanks,

B
