Usually in difficult situations like that it really helps the most to hide objects and also zoom in more on that busy area.

I think I should be able to do the Alt snap override for the next patch.

I also tuned up the UI to allow for the "isolate" type mechanism you were talking about, you can update your current version to have this feature by unzipping the attached ObjectSnapMenu.zip, and copying the ObjectSnapMenu.htm file over top of the old version inside C:\Program Files\MoI beta Sep-4-2007\ui .

After you do that and re-start MoI, that object snap menu will support batch processing by using either right click or Alt+click on one of the menu items.

The way that it works is that will either become the single checked item and everything else will get unchecked with that one click, or if it already was the only item it will turn on everything. So this gives a quick way to either turn everything on or off. Please let me know if that does what you were asking for here.
