I use this a lot and a lot of times i just went back to 4.5 for the tool because i can't find it in 4.7 but i really need it. Where is the tool that lets you select pixel by pixel of a surface and create a new surface or add to or take out of another surface? Please help with this, thanks so much!

To select individual polygons and create a new surface: Tools > "Geometry Editor". In the viewport, click on one poly to select it then hold Ctrl down and select any other polygons you want (or optionally you can right-click, Geometry > "selection mode" and select with a rectangle (marquee) or by freehand drawing (lasso)). To remove a polygon from a group of selected polygons, ALT key and Left Mouse. Right click and choose Geometry Assignment > Create Surface from Selected. Give the new surface a name. You will then see a new material zone in the "Surfaces (color)" pane.
