If I have two elements which are in the same “Item” box in the menu.
How do I move one of these two elements so it become its own “Item”?

Do you mean the two items are in a folder? If so, you can simply hold the pen tip on either or both items and drag them left out of the folder to the parent list.

I made an extruded circle and then I added a tower on top of the circle.
Then I could not move the tower without also moving the circle.
They become one unit…
is there a way to split them?

Hi,
If you accidentally merged them together while extruding, you can split them with the [Split Body](https://support.shapr3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/4406427864082-What-does-the-Split-Body-tool-do-) tool. Please don’t forget that there is a Boolean Badge when your extrusion interacts with existing bodies, there you can set if you wish to merge them together or keep the extrusion as a new body.
Please see the video below, the first part is about the Split Body, and the second is about the Boolean Badge:
