Subtool via vert groups

Hi guys, pretty new to zbrush, I’ve experimented a while and starting to get comfortable. What I’m looking to do is split my mesh up into subtools. I believe this is the best way I can reach areas that are too hard even for the masking tool. I’ve made vert groups on my base mesh, only for the arms, since it’s the inner side of the arms I have trouble with. But I’m not sure how to make them into separate subtools.

If anyone could explain how this is done or offer a better solution to my problem I’d be much appreciative. I’m assuming it’s subtools I want to use, which will allow me to group them off whilst maintaining integrity joint.

You could create polygroups from either polypaint or masking and then do a Group Split to divide your mesh into different subtools. Watch the Concept Car demoin ZClassroom starting at minute 4:53 to get an understanding of what I mean.
