Make two objects out of two pieces separated by boolean difference modifier

Question

I applied a boolean difference modifier to a rectangular object that removed a middle portion of it and I ended um with two parts. But now I want to select just one of the parts but both parts are selected, as they are still the same object. How can I separate them apart? Thanks in advance, Pedro

press p and use separate by loose parts , see http://blender.stackexchange.com/a/6185/2816 — , Jun 10 '16 at 17:34

You will need to Apply the boolean modifier (it's a button in the modifier panel), then use the Spacebar menu to find the Separate operator, and choose the "By loose parts" option.
