Final Draft Question - edit only certain scenes

[DoubleIT]

In Final Draft 7 (OS X) is there a way to work only in certain scenes - ie scenes slugged INT. HALLWAY or the like?

I'm totally rewritting this one scene thats spread out over 30 pages (cutting between 5 different characters) and i want to see them all as one instead of having to jump around the script.

Any ideas?

No real way per se, but you can bookmark those scenes and then jump back and forth between the bookmarks.

As Joe said, you can't do it.

If it is that important to you, though, you might try the following workaround technique:

Copy and paste all the relevant materials into a second FinalDraft document.

Do your work within this second document. You might even use the "Split Horizontal" feature (the icon at the top right), which lets you see different places in the same document. Save the second file under its own name.

When you are finished, open both documents (the first one and the smaller second one). You can copy and paste the scenes from the second document to their proper places in the first document. Remember that you can have two documents open at once.

I agree with Joe.

Curiously, though, why do you have a 30 minute scene?

Methinks it's likely that DoubleIT meant a 30-minute sequence when he posted his question back in October.
