How Do I Move a Face Entirely on Its Own?

Question

I fairly new to blender and i'm trying to move a specific face on its own. When I have the face selected and use the move controls, it tugs the surrounding area with it. I was doing it before but I think I accidentally hit a shortcut, and now it no longer responds this way. How do I fix this?

are you talking about the face is stretching the edges it is connected to, or all the surrounding geometry? — David, Dec 25 '16 at 03:42

I think that you want to duplicate the face. You want to move the face without affecting the rest of geometry. To do this select the face and press shift+D and place your face where you want.

After you have duplicated and you want to delete your original face, press X to delete and select Only faces.

When you press G check the mouse wheel up and then move mouse up and down to do what you mean, you will be known.

You could easily go into edit mode and select the Face you want, After you have selected it press P, it should open a small window, then just click selection and now you have made that face its own object. GL
