Description just incase you're unable to read the cruddy text on it these are the steps:

1. Open PMD Editor


2. Click on (F) and then click on (O) and select the item/model you wish to edit.


3.On the window that shows your model click on (V) and then click on (A) to open your tools


4.make sure you click on the green dot icon at the bottom on the window where it shows your model, it's right by the Icon that shows the bones.


5.go to the tool window that has the list where you check off boxes, (it's the selection tool..atleast that's what i call it.) and then check off the box that's the part of the model you want to seperate/delete.


6.now, either on the tool window or at the top of the window that shows your model click on the icon that looks like a triangle. this will be your selection tool for what you're going to seperate from the rest of the part of the model you're editing.


7.Hold down shift and click and drag your mouse along the part of the item you want to seperate. (if you end up highlighting a part you didn't want to highlight simply hold down ctrl and click on the part that is highlighted that you didn't want to be highlighted then hold down shift and continue highlighting the item.)


8.Once you're done selecting the parts you wish to seperate/delete right click on the checked box in the selection window and then click (S) this will seperate the part you highlighted/selected from the rest of the polygons


9.to delete the part you now seperated simply check the box that was created (it won't have a number next to the japanese writing!) right click on it and then click on (P) to delete it.


NOTE:: MAKE SURE THE ONLY BOX CHECKED IS THE ONE WITHOUT A NUMBER. IF ANY OTHER BOXES ARE CHECKED WHEN YOU DELETE IT ALL OF THE BOXES THAT WERE CHECKED WILL BE DELETED IF THIS HAPPENS JUST DO CTRL+Z AND CLICK ON THE BOX WITHOUT A NUMBER AND UNCHECK ALL THE OTHERS.


10. then, you're done :3....

EDIT::
ANOTHER NOTE..THIS ALSO WORKS WITH THE NORMAL BOX SELECTION. IT'S JUST NOT AS EXACT AS THE TRIANGLES. YOU COULD DO BOTH SUCH AS, TAKING OUT A LARGE CHUNK YOU DIDN'T NEED WITH BOX SELECTION AND THEN USING THE TRIANGLES TO CLEAN UP THE ITEM.

You're welcome! I'm glad this dusty old tutorial is still helpful. If you have big chunks to delete you can also use the box selection tool for the bulk of it and then use the triangles to clean it up.
