Hy there!

I need to do this :
- build a mesh and make a selection on it (I need to know how to save that selection for quick reselect)
- attach the mesh to another mesh (the selection must remain saved)
- make some modifications and collapse the mesh smooth
- use the saved selection to detach the polygons needed
Thank you in advance!

Best regards!

Set the desired faces of the first mesh to a material ID that isn't used in the 2nd mesh. Add a Volume Select modifier to the 2nd mesh, and set it to that ID. Then attach, subdivide, and collapse underneath the Vol Select. Should preserve the selection.
