If they are grouped, you can just select them then hit F5 and it will hide everything excluding your selection.

Activate the wall tool, CTRL+A to select all walls and then view selection in 3D.
You can even add a marquee to the plan to select all walls just inside that marquee.

I would think that was the Quick Layers palette, or perhaps a keyboard shortcut for 'hide others' in that palette.

Quick Layer commands can also be used in combination —say you want to show some layer currently hidden, you can typically 1) invert shown-hidden, 2) click on element in layer you want to show, 3) hide, 4) invert shown-hidden, much faster than it would take you to open Layers etc.

Thank you all for your help! F5 works fine! I was watching one video and the guy said I am going to isolate walls in 3d and he hit Alt+X and only walls were shown. However, I tried same and didn't work for some reason (probably he assigned for Alt+X something that I don't know)
