No problem.

Select the surfaces you want to separate and use menu Surface->cut-away-object.

Go into Surface mode and select the surfaces that you want to separate.

With the surfaces selected, under the Surface menu, select "Cut away object"

Is this what you're looking for? If that's it, then your English is fine, at least for me

Thanks for the fast help.
But I think I do anything wrongly.
If I select the part which I want to seperate, I change the triangles in the model. And I am in the surface mode.

Switch to surface mode before you select the surfaces you want to detach.

You can shift-click on each surface to select all the surfaces you want.

so I have a screenshot from my ac3d now.



You can see that I have the surface mode. But the triangles are activ.

There is a green select field. Is that the correct selection field?

Thanks

You can see the surfaces selected are outlined in green. The green box shows you the area that's selected (which you can drag/size if you like).

The info at the top of the control panel tells you how many surfaces are selected.

In this case you have one surface (a triangle) selected. A 'surface' in AC3D is a line or polygon.

I have it now.
Thanks to all.

@Razer
The original glider is not from me. I want to convert him in other graphic format only for a other simulator :wink:

But I will tell it him. :lol:
