Body into new part within assembly

Hi Guys,
im making a cube within sw each side of the cube is a new part. (top down assembly) ive made cut through one of the panels creating a new body of the part.

I want to be able to turn that body into a new part within my assembly without having to offset surfaces then knitting it back together is there a way to do this.

i have just phoned the helpline and the couldn't help, it sounds like a really simple action i just cant work it out.

ive attached a picture so you can see what i mean.

I think the Split feature is what you are looking for.

INSERT|FEATURE|SPLIT

I'm not sure I follow your description but, if your top part has been split into two parts you can open it at the part level, export the part into a new part then delete it in the original part file and insert the new part file back into your assembly?

SPLIT! of course!!! thanks for your help!

Thanks for your reply, i had thought of this but i didn't want to have to re position the parts after bringing them back into the assembly.
