Detach elements by polycount

Maybe something like this?

minMaxFaces = #(1,1000) --set the minimum and maximum number of faces for elements to be detatched.
groupByFaceCount = false
mainMesh = selection[1]
modClass = classOf (modPanel.getCurrentObject())
if (modClass == Editable_Poly) do (
    minMaxFaces = #(1,1000)
    mainMesh = selection[1]
    loopingDone = false
    for curLoop=1 to 1000 while loopingDone == false do (
        mainMesh.SetSelection #Face #{} --deselect all faces
        allFaces = (-(mainMesh.getSelection #Face)) as array
        checkedFacs = #()
        viableElements = #()
        for fac in allFaces while checkedFacs.count < allFaces do ( --viableElements.count == 0 do (
            if (finditem checkedFacs fac == 0) do (
                mainMesh.SetSelection #Face #{fac}
                mainMesh.ConvertSelection #Face #Element
                elemFacs = mainMesh.getSelection #Face as array
                if (elemFacs.count >= minMaxFaces[1]) and (elemFacs.count <= minMaxFaces[2]) then ( append viableElements elemFacs ; join checkedFacs elemFacs )
                else join checkedFacs elemFacs
            )
        )
        if (viableElements.count != 0) and (viableElements.count != allFaces.count) then (
            --Of the viable elements check if any others have same face count
            if groupByFaceCount == true and viableElements.count >= 2 then (
                elementsToDetatchFLAT = #()
                for i=2 to viableElements.count do (
                    if viableElements[i].count == viableElements[1].count do join elementsToDetatchFLAT viableElements[i]
                )
                polyop.detachFaces mainMesh elementsToDetatchFLAT asNode:true delete:true --name:""
            )
            else (polyop.detachFaces mainMesh viableElements[1] asNode:true delete:true --name:"")
        )
        else loopingDone = true
    )
)

Just put the minimum and maximum number of faces in the first array for the elements you want detatched as new meshs. Set groupByFaceCount to true if you want to detatch all elements that match each others face count together as one mesh. Can’t help you with naming the new meshs though without knowing the specifics about how you want them named.

You could also flag all the elements faces you don’t want detached right at the start in order to make it run a bit faster.
