please help me to cut his head

[JasonA]

select all of the faces that make up the head (and neck if you wish) and use the Extract command (under Edit Polygons). Then assign the detached head to it's own layer that you can turn on or off at your liesure.

sure, thanks! but when I do the smooth this is the result

[murnau]

this...

[dmcgrath]

you are smoothing the entire object to the edge. You need to attach the other side of your model and weld all the verts together. if you don't then the result you posted will happen

Or you could save you the trouble of detaching en recombining and install bonus tools 5.1. There you have a utility (in the moddeling menu) to hide/show faces.

Another thing you could use is hide/show selected in show menu in you panels. Disadvantage is that you need to do it for every panel but anyway. First, select all faces on your model and click show-isolate select-view selected. Cick this in each panel you wish to use while modelling. Then, select the faces you don't want to see and click show-isolate select-remove selected objects. It wouldn't hurt to create quick selects for these cause when you reload your file you need to set it up again.

I suppose you could always apply a transparent texture to the faces.. but then they would still be selectable.......

Just a thought :shrug:
