Unable to select individual parts of the mesh I've been having issues when attempting to select parts of models. Due to the software I work in, I cannot export models as an entire part due to a poly limit. Whenever I attempt to select individual parts of the mesh, it selects the entire thing, rather than the body, headlights, etc, stuff I can pick out individually in Sketchup. I am importing into Blender .obj files and exporting in .obj files. I know I can go in and individually group faces, but that's a massive hassle for models that can be into the tens of thousands of faces.
If your model consists of multiple meshes, you can


Select all other faces of the mesh using Select > Select Linked > Linked, Ctrl + L
Then separate the selected faces through Mesh > Separate > Selection, P
Or make each mesh into a separate object through Mesh > Separate > By Loose Parts, P
