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

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.

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.
