Access and Use

The Separate tool is accessible in the SubD tools menu:

  3. Once you’ve selected the Separate tool, select the faces of the object you want to separate by pressing the front trigger on your drawing hand controller. If you want to select more than one face at the same time, press and hold the front trigger and hover over the faces to highlight them
  4. Press the blue tick on your non-drawing hand to finalize the separation
