I know, I know... I seem to have a kajillion questions =B
Im working on a model and it would be awesome if I could extract polys or a selection of polys to use as something of a "helper/target object"... I can select polys, and I can detach them, but is there a way to detach them and have them as a seperate object, not part of the object they were originally extracted from?!? That way I could align and move hot points much easier...
Thanks in advance =)

Because of the way Carrara works, the polys can't be detached and made a new object as in Hexagon. However, the trick that I use in Carrara is to duplicate the poly object and then delete all the polygons that I don't want. This creates a perfectly aligned replacement object - but it does require going back into the original object and then deleting the polygon(s) that are "created" by the duplicate object.
