how to separate structures into 2 separate objects?

I’m trying to make a railing in Blender and I’m not sure what I did but Blender is treating the cylinder that will be the posts as the same object as a sphere that I tried to delete. The wire mesh for most of the sphere is still in the scene and I don’t want to start duplicating the post before it’s gone. How do I get the circular wire mesh in this picture to be completely gone?


Go to edit mode, change to vertex select mode, wire frame view (Z), box select those stray vertices with B, press X to delete the selected vertices

Thank you so much! I’m new to Blender; I think I should check out the tutorials on Lynda.com. I’ve heard they’re good :slight_smile:

Thanks for that, I was having a similar problem with the wire mesh.
