How do i remove a piece of an item or clothing without removing all of it?

Schaaka

Long story short, the best match for a human armor set i want to use is from a centaur. How do I delete the horse part of the armor? I have done cutout to 0% and for the most part it does work, except one piece that takes away from the 'human' part that I really want to keep (even though removing items via cutout in the surfaces seems like its not optimal since it doesnt exactly remove anything, unsure if that will effect render and load times on things im not using).

I seem to be unable to select anything outside the whole of the item in the scene tab.

Dunno if I am wording my searches wrong but google doesnt come up with anything helpful.

Any help would be awesome, thanks!

you can use the geometry editor tool to select and hide faces, if you open tool settings you can find it or depending on your layout it's an icon of a square with a pencil.

rightclicking with it selected gives you options

working in line shaded view helps see the polygon faces

Thanks! That does the trick. Its a tad clunkier than I would like but it does exactly what I was looking for~!
