When you select an object and open the Polygon Copier, the selected object appears in the Polygon Copier's left window. In the above image, a banana in the scene is selected for copying. The right window shows an incomplete banana--this window displays the triangles copied from the original. Refer to the triangle count below each window to keep track of the polygon count for the original and copied objects.
Select triangles from the object in the left window by clicking. Selected triangles appear in red or with a dotted red line, depending on which options you have chosen. Remember to click Accept to replace the original object with the new object. If you want to add the new object to the scene and keep the original, copy and paste (Ctrl-c, Ctrl-v) the object and select the copy before opening the Polygon Copier. The Polygon Copier is editing the current selection, not creating a new object based on the original--the two windows are for previewing changes and do not reflect two separate objects in the scene.
The Polygon Copier's windows use the Examiner Viewer by default (its controls are hidden). Alt-drag to reposition your view in a window. The view in each window is ganged, so moving your view in one window affects both windows.
