print only part of plate

If my print plate has several objects on it, can i tell the slicer to generate gcode for only some of them?  I've tried selecting before slicing and a few other ideas but it always slices everything.

I'm doing this because i want to print some parts with different filaments.

If your objects are separate parts, you can right-click on the "eye" icon in the parts list to keep that part from being printed:

At the top of Prusa Slicer, there are 2 overlapping squares with "O" in them.. (2 icons left of cogs). Click the parts (they should be green) and click on that icon.. Then click in an empty space on the plate. The parts should be separated.
