Hi, this can be done by hiding other parts of the model on the Items window leaving only the part to be copied visible on the workspace.

Export the workspace in Parasolid (X\_T) format and then reimport into the other design.  
Only the visible body will be exported.

I hope this helps 🙂

A " merge scene" would be a great feature
