Extract Faces?
I am trying to detach a part of my poly model, now when I used Max all you had to do was select the faces you wanted to detach and hit detach, simple! In maya I thought the equivilant was extract faces, but when I use this it does detach the selected faces but it breaks them all up into individual pieces, meaning I have to merge all the verts back together again, annoying!
am I doing something wrong? I've tried playing around with the settings but to no avail!
Any help would be cool, thanks, James.

The object will still be one even though it will apperes to be 2. Than go edit polygon> seperate.
Now you will have 2 objects...
