Selection and Copy MAX issue:

[CADken]

So i'm making rims and i created the center of the rim, now i want to work on the "legs" of the rim... i created one leg and i'm happy with the outcome, however, i'm curious how i can just copy that leg and then just rotate it into position around the rim?

here's a snapshot of what i mean, the selected area that i want to copy and rotate is in red... my current issue is that it copies the entire object and not just the selected "leg"

Try Detaching the leg from the center of the rim. Select the polys for the leg and then hit the Detach button under "Edit Geometry" in your rollout menu. Then you can Array the leg around the center of your rim. Once you get all the legs into position you can use the Attach button to join everything back into one object and then Weld your vertices.
