Mesh join to separate groups

Hi!
downloaded .obj and working with that. I need to separate it to 2 pieces.
I exploded it (mesh) and picked up edge meshes and hided them. Then chose all the meshes and joined. I thought it would give me 2 separate mesh groups but it gave me only 1. Why?

When joining groups separately it gives me 2 separate groups.

It is big pain in the #ss because there is 9000 meshes and it is difficult to choose by painting or even by brushing because the meshes are very close (outern and inner surfaces) each others and the product has complex rounded shape.

EDIT: Is there option to hover so that it picks only the surface (mesh) you can see in the shaded view? Now it takes also the surfaces which are behind the front surfaces…

Thanks :slight_smile:

Great, thanks Dale!
