On topic, I only know of two users able to cut models into functional subparts: DrJim and zenteo. DrJim's been inactive for some time, and zenteo seems to be the same way. If they come back, I'll ask them.
But if it's a subpart you can save it as one whole object for usage in other worlds instead of seperate ones, can't you?
