Is there a way to isolate a row of vertices in Maya 2017?

lamington

I tried selecting a row of vertices and pressing ctrl + 1 but it also included the vertices it's connected with that creates the face. I'm wondering if there's a way to isolate just those specific vertices that I selected?

You should probably tell us what program you're using

Always best to put that in your thread title. As in

[Maya 2017] isolate row of vertices?

If i'm not mistaken, the smallest renderable component able to be isolated is a polygon.  If you isolate an edge or vertex, the connected faces will isolate with them.

Will do, thanks.

Oh, I see, thanks.

Why do you want to isolate them?

I wanted to create a shape without it being obstructed by the other row of vertices.
