However I also find many times that I would like to be able to show only specific layers (not whole layer groups). For instance, if I want to rip up all my ground plane polygons, I would like to be able to show only the ground plane layer (which is in the "top" layer's group) so that I can "select all" to select only the ground plane copper.
