How do you make a new item / geometry from a selection. For example if you have a cube and you want the front of the cube to be a new geometry called 'front' ?. And remove the front of the cube.
Thanks

Hi wing_it_d3, welcome to our community. 
To make a new item from a geometry selection you can use (in Face mode [F]) the command Extract.
That will not "open" a hole in the source object. Wings works with closed manifolds, so in order to get that effect you have two options depending on what you want to achieve:
- Hole: it will open a hole in your geometry, but you cannot work in the inner side of it, because you will be only seeing the backfaces of the remaining faces of the object/mesh;
- Intrude: it will allow you to define a thickness to the object and it will create the inner faces.
Try yourself to understand the differences.
