Turn "eyes" (nodes etc) off/on

Pinzelmeister

Is there a way to turn off or on a whole string of "eyes" (i.e. nodes or whatever the correct term might be)?  See attachment.  Example, a rope, a snake, a hose on a hookah etc.  Sometimes an item has dozens of nodes and I want to turn off a few or a whole set; doing them individually is not only slow but also causes other issues.  I've tried things like Click on first eye, press shift or alt, click on last eye . . . that does not do it.  Other ideas?

    To toggle a bunch of nodes (to hide, or not cast shadows, etc.), select the root node you want to start from in the Scene Tab and right-click, then choose "Select Children".  Now you can toggle them all invisible simultaneously in Parameters tab—Display.  Just make sure you turn off both Visible and Visible In Render.  Option2: put them in a group, hide the group node.
