Thanks for watching pl. Blender 3d modeling and animation tutorials and lessons. Once blender has finished splitting the mesh go to object mode and click on the different parts of the original mesh. To merge multiple meshes together we ll need the help of booleans.

Basically you can cut a mesh. Then change to face ctrl tab and select on of the faces on a side and type crl l to select linked faces. Go into edit mode select and edge or a selection of edges or a group of vertices. To be sure you can mark it as a seam but that is not necessary.

The edge split modifier splits duplicates edges within a mesh breaking links between faces around those split edges. Since 2 72 blender versions with the command alt d and a vertex selected you can add a vertex on edge next to the mouse cursor. They are one object but still disconnected separate meshes.
